What is a Clothes Steamer?

A clothes steamer is a household appliance designed to quickly and effectively remove wrinkles from your clothes. It works by projecting steam onto the fabrics, relaxing the fibers for a smooth and impeccable appearance.

Commonly referred to as a steamer, vertical steamer, garment steamer, or clothes steamer, it has long been used by clothing professionals. It is an essential tool for presenting collections at sales or fashion shows, ensuring they are perfectly wrinkle-free, without any creases from manufacturing, transport, or handling.

This vertical ironing appliance is now available for home use, making the essential task of ironing much easier.

How to Use a Garment Steamer Correctly?

To use a garment steamer correctly, fill the water tank, turn on the device, wait for it to reach operating temperature, and then gently pass it over the wrinkled areas of your clothes. Be sure to slightly stretch the fabric for the best results.

The operating principle of a garment steamer is quite simple. The iron or diffuser applies steam directly to the fabrics at a temperature of at least 100°C. The combined action of steam and a slight rubbing motion removes all wrinkles without any risk of glazing or felting, even on delicate fabrics.

The work is done vertically, with the garment usually placed on a hanger or between tensioners. A slight tension applied to the fabric with your free hand while applying steam directly to the material allows the fibers to regain their natural appearance, restoring the clothes to their original look.

What is the Difference Between an Iron and a Clothes Steamer?

Irons use a heated soleplate to smooth clothes, while clothes steamers project steam to remove wrinkles. Steamers are gentler on fabrics, whereas irons can damage them.

No ironing board, no high temperature, no crushing of the material are the major differences between a clothes steamer and an iron or a steam station.

What are the Advantages of a Steamer Over Traditional Ironing?

Steamers offer several advantages, including faster use, fabric preservation, versatility for other textiles, and reduced energy consumption compared to traditional ironing.

What Types of Clothes are Best Suited for a Garment Steamer?

Garment steamers are particularly effective for delicate clothes, suits, shirts, dresses, and fragile fabrics. They are ideal for removing wrinkles without damaging the fibers, making them perfect for a wide variety of garments.

This vertical ironing method is particularly suited to modern fabrics, often composed of a blend of natural and synthetic fibers. Synthetic fibers are very sensitive to heat and suffer greatly from traditional ironing, even though they are intended to facilitate the maintenance and appearance of the garment. The clothes steamer is a tool that preserves the look of fabrics by maintaining the integrity of synthetic fibers.
