Something about the coldness of the fabric makes it iron even smoother. Don't know why, but it sure works, especially when I don't have time to iron and don't want the fabric to get too dry or go sour.
when i was a little girl i remember the lady next door would go to her freezer and take out her husbands dress shirts and iron them !! i was always amazed at seeing her do this but the shirts looked great when she was done
