Some people enjoy it and find it wonderfully relaxing; but in many households, ironing is not popular and is seen by many as a time-consuming chore. Remarkably, the 'new generation' of people living on their own and first-time homeowners often no longer even have an iron and ironing board at home. Clothes are hung in the closet immediately after washing/drying and do not first disappear into an ironing basket. The use of a garment steamer has grown enormously in popularity. But is a garment steamer really a complete replacement for an iron?
A steamer is a device that removes wrinkles from clothing using - how could it be otherwise - steam. Unlike an iron, you do not need to apply pressure, so you do not need an ironing board either. Applying less pressure, force and heat to the fabric significantly extends the lifespan of the textile product. Remove wrinkles from your clothes without damaging the fabric with a high-quality garment steamer.
A garment steamer is in many cases not a complete replacement for your iron. For example, a handheld steamer cannot remove stubborn, deep wrinkles because the continuous steam output is generally too low, and an iron allows you to apply much more pressure to a fabric. Therefore, consider beforehand what you will use the garment steamer for. Wrinkles are more difficult to remove from linen than, for example, from cotton or satin.
A garment steamer is ideal for quickly removing wrinkles from thin and delicate fabrics and clothing with difficult textures, such as pleated skirts. It is also ideal for touching up and freshening all kinds of clothing, including wool sweaters and coats. In addition to using a steamer on clothing, a steamer is also very suitable for use on your bedding, curtains and, for example, tablecloths.

Effortlessly, quickly and easily remove wrinkles and freshen your clothes without using an ironing board? Then a compact handheld steamer is perfect for you! A garment steamer is handy to have as an extra, and especially for traveling to quickly make your clothes wrinkle-free or freshen them up, but it is not a complete replacement for an iron. Do not buy a garment steamer to get through full baskets of ironing, but only for quick jobs. A high-quality garment steamer heats up and is ready to use within 20 seconds. With a full water tank, you can steam an average of about 2/3 garments.
