Can I replace my iron with a steamer?

Some love it and find it wonderfully relaxing; but in many households doing the ironing is not popular, and is seen by many as a time-consuming chore. It is remarkable that the 'new generation' who live alone and starters often no longer even have an iron and ironing board at home. Clothes are immediately hung in the closet after washing/drying and do not first disappear in an ironing basket. Using a clothes steamer has exploded in popularity. But is a clothes steamer really a complete replacement for the iron?

A steamer / steamer is a device that removes wrinkles from clothing with - how could it be otherwise - steam. Unlike an iron, you don't have to exert pressure and you don't need an ironing board. Applying less pressure, force and heat to the fabric significantly extends the life of the textile product. You can get wrinkles out of your clothes without damaging the fabric with a high-quality clothes steamer .
In many cases, a clothes steamer is not a complete replacement for your iron . For example, you cannot remove stubborn, deep creases with a handheld steamer, because the continuous steam production is generally too low, and you exert much more pressure on a fabric with an iron. Therefore, consider in advance what you are using the clothes steamer for. Linen is more difficult to crease than, for example, with cotton or satin.

A garment steamer ideal for quickly dewrinkling thin fabrics, delicate fabrics and garments with difficult textures, such as pleated skirts.
It is also ideal for touching up and refreshing all kinds of clothing, including wool sweaters and jackets. In addition to using the steamer on clothing, a steamer can also be used very well for your bedding , curtains and, for example, tablecloths .

Effortlessly, quickly and easily remove creases and freshen up your clothes without using an ironing board? Then a compact handheld steamer is perfect for you! A clothes steamer is handy for on the go, especially when traveling to quickly de-crease or freshen up your clothes, but it is not a complete replacement for an iron. Don't buy a clothes steamer to get rid of full baskets of ironing, but only for quick jobs.  A high-quality clothes steamer is heated up and ready for use within 20 seconds. With a full water tank you can steam about 2/3 pieces of clothing on average.

Last but not least: take better care of the clothes you already have!

Use the right care products to care for your clothes. Do not unnecessarily put your clothes in the washing machine, but for example run a clothes steamer over them to freshen up the fabric, or hang the fabric outside to air out. Does a substance pill? Or is there lint on it? Use a fabric brush or lint remover to breathe new life into the fabric. It certainly doesn't have to be thrown away. Use gentle detergent, without chemicals and harmful substances for your garment. This way the fabric lasts much longer!
