FAQs
- Is steaming clothes better than ironing?
Steaming your clothes is a great alternative to ironing as it’s quicker and safer for delicate materials. Ironing applies heat directly to your tops and trousers which can be more effective on tough creases, but harder on your fabrics.
- Are handheld steamers worth it?
Handheld steamers make a good investment if you travel a lot or need to quickly get wrinkles out of work shirts. They’re particularly gentle on delicate fabrics too.
- Are steam generator irons better than steam irons?
Steam generator irons take up a bit more space, but they have a higher steam output than a standard steam iron. So, if you want more power, they’re a great choice.
- How do I choose a steam generator iron?
Choosing the right steam generator iron depends on what you’re after. Some things to look out for are a smooth soleplate that’ll glide seamlessly over your clothes, one that’s lightweight so it's easy to lift, and the stronger the steam output, the more powerful it is.
- How do you descale a steam generator iron?
When you need to descale your steam generator iron, check the manufacturer’s manual for instructions tailored to your model. This will make sure that you’re doing everything right.
- Do garment steamers clean clothes?
Garment steamers are really hygienic as the high-temperature steam can kill bacteria and banish odours. It’s a great way to refresh a once-worn outfit. However, it’s not the same as popping your clothes in the wash, so you’ll still need your machine for that.
- How do I choose a good garment steamer?
- Choosing a good garment steamer is a case of comparing the specs. A model with a higher wattage will be more powerful, but it’s also worth looking at the heat up time – the quicker it heats up, the less waiting around you’ll do. Another thing to consider is the water tank size and autonomy. The higher the autonomy, the more you can steam in one go.
