Satin products should be hung on a drying rack or tumbled on the dryer set on low heat. You should remove it from the dryer before it is completely dry and let it fully air dry. Satin may discolor or get damaged by direct sunlight or heat.
Polyester, silk, satin and wool: These fabrics can withstand a medium iron temperature between 110 and 150 degrees. Silk, satin and wool should be ironed on the wrong side of the fabric or with a cloth barrier. Also, avoid steam or wetting these fabrics.

Durable. Since satin uses long filament fibers which are woven in a very taut fashion, the resulting material is stronger than many plain weave fabrics. Wrinkle-resistant. Satin doesn't wrinkle as easily as other fabrics, and thicker satins are less prone to wrinkles.
While silk is a fabric produced by the domesticated silkworm (or Bombyx mori), satin refers to the weave of the fabric, rather than the actual material.

Satin can be steamed in a very short time while at home. The time it takes to steam a satin garment will depend on the type of garment, the size, as well as the severity of the wrinkles and creases in the satin fabric.

Lay the satin evenly on an ironing board and use a spray bottle to add moisture to the wrinkled area. Cover the area you wish to iron with a cotton pressing cloth and turn the iron on to the lowest heat setting. Hand press the iron on to the wrinkled areas and continue until the satin is completely wrinkle free.
