Steam Irons

A steamer takes the wrinkles out of a cloth without making contact with the fabric. A garment steamer uses hot steam to relax the fibers in clothing. A jet of steam is directed at the cloth suspended on a hanger. A steam wand at the end of a hose is held a short distance from the cloth – providing a smooth look without the application of scorching heat to the clothing. Steamers are ideal for soft and delicate fabrics like silk, satin, polyester and jersey. Because a garment steamer does not actually touch clothing – there is little chance of burning the garment. A clothes steamer can be used on fabrics that are difficult to iron, such as a screen-printed shirt or a suit jacket. Steamers are also effective in smoothing out sleeves, pleats and ruffles in garments. Suits, sweaters, delicate fabrics, t shirts, jackets and clothes with pleats require a steamer to protect the fabric and shape of the garment. Steamers are much faster than irons. Handheld garment steamers beat irons in terms of convenience because they are lightweight and require little space. A disadvantage with a steamer is that creases cannot be pressed into fabrics. Your dress shirt won’t look crisp if you use a steamer. You’ll need an iron for that look. An iron isn’t going to work well on a sweater or to bring clothing to life and get out odors. You’ll need a steamer to clean delicate clothes.

Tips On Steaming Garments Use only on surfaces that are sealed and can handle high temperatures. For colored clothing – test a patch of cloth before steaming the garment. Colors tend to run when moisture is applied to clothes. When using a steamer – be careful not to oversteam. You could blow the seams on a jacket.
