Have you ever thought about using a garment steamer ?

Like the name says, a garment steamer is a device that uses a measure of steam to remove wrinkles out of virtually all types of fabrics.

Why should you use one ?

The advantages of using a garment steamer over a traditional iron are often cited as convenience, ease of use, and the elimination of the risk of iron-scorched clothing as well as the long-term damage and destruction of fibers in fabrics.

An iron takes time to heat up and even longer to cool down.  With the use of an iron, there is always the danger of accidental burns–especially with small children–in addition to ruined clothing.  Irons cannot be used safely and effectively on fine fabrics, for example, business suits, evening gowns, formal attire, etc.  Moreover, to be used effectively on any garment, an iron additionally requires a bulky ironing board.

After having used an iron for a period of time, you've undoubtedly seen that gunky buildup that looks like black or brown tar on the face of the iron.  This buildup is leftover residue from all of the other past fabrics on which you've ironed.  Should your iron get hot enough, the gunk can easily melt off of the face and onto that brand new dress.  Cleaning all that gunk off is a challenge in itself.  Regardless of how well you clean it, there'll usually be some leftover residue.  Moreover, using harsh cleaning chemicals can destroy the face's protective coating and thereby void the warranty. 

Travelers–especially business travelers–after arriving at their destination usually have the immediate need to remove wrinkles from suits and other clothing that have been stored in luggage during transit.  A handheld travel garment steamer is perfect for this.

A garment steamer is much safer, more compact and versatile than an iron and can accomplish what a regular iron cannot.  You can safely removing unsightly wrinkles from delicate fabrics, business suits, and formal evening attire, thus saving you the time, effort, and money from an unnecessary trip to the dry cleaners.

In the following pages, we'll explore more about the different types of garment steamers.
