Get Back to School Ready with TEFAL

Summer is coming to a close and we’re getting ready for the Autumn season as the nights begin to draw in and we start to get cosy.

While children may be getting excited to get back to school and see their friends, after a fun and long Summer, a lot of parents may be feeling apprehensive about Back to School, particularly with tasks looming; like ironing the school uniform, preparing school lunches and doing the morning drop off.

But Rome wasn’t built in a day, so let’s deal with these things one at a time. By the end of this blog post, you’ll be feeling calmer and ready to tackle the next few weeks.

We know those first few mornings back can be hectic, getting the kids up, washed, dressed, fed and ready for school can be quite a shock to the system, and that doesn’t even include getting yourself ready for the day.

So understandably, you can’t be spending your time ironing the school uniforms when you have so many other things on your plate. We get it, and we’re here to help!

You can go hands free with the Care for You, de-wrinkle, sanitise and steam in just 10 minutes! We know, it sounds too good to be true, but this product really is magic.

With TEFAL’s linen care products, you could make the dreaded task of ironing the school uniform so much simpler and save yourself tonnes of time.

Simply place your school items (up to 3-5 items) on hangers into the Care for You, place on the weights to help straighten, and select the 10-minute setting. Hop in the shower or head to the kitchen to start preparing the breakfast and return to the school uniform wrinkle free and ready to go.

Watch this Reel to see just how effective it really is in practice.

We know that uniform will have been collecting dust in the wardrobe for the last 6 weeks, but it might just need a little freshening up ahead of first day back. This is where our steamers come into play.

Take a look at the Pure Tex that sanitises and steams your clothes in minutes.
