Iron

Question
Is there a problem to iron with a steam iron the clothes of my child who has cystic fibrosis? There is always a little water in the iron: is the heat sufficient to destroy any germs, bacteria? Thank you for your opinion.
Answer
Hello
There is no problem to iron clothes for your child because temperatures of an iron are between 110 ° C and 200 ° C.
The microorganisms present in water of the iron are destroyed at these temperatures.
I just hope to have answered your question of vigilant parents.
Cordially
