Why do steam irons have a permanent press setting? |

Permanent Press
Because "permanent press" isn't really permanently pressed. It's more resistant to wrinkling, but it still can.
The fibers have been stiffened so that they are less likely to take a set. You want an iron that can re-flatten
the material without destroying the wrinkle-resistant properties, That is an only moderately hot iron, as opposed
to, for example, the extreme heat needed to smooth out a pair of denim jeans.
