Garment steamer myths

Myth 1: a steamer doesn't smooth as well as an iron

• The myth: a steamer is only good for light blouses and can't cope with heavy fabrics or stubborn creases.
• The reality: pressurized steam penetrates deep into the fabric fibers and relaxes them from within.
• A steamer handles jeans, blazers and coats with ease — without flattening the texture of the material.

Myth 2: you can't use it on delicate fabrics

• Safer than an iron: there's no direct contact between a hot metal soleplate and the fabric.
• No scorch marks or shine: steam gently relaxes the fibers of silk, wool, velvet and cashmere.
• Perfect for embellishments: easily smooths pleats, sequins, rhinestones and intricate cuts.

Myth 3: steaming takes too long

• To iron, you have to get out and set up the ironing board, wait for the iron to heat up and keep turning the garment over.
• With a steamer: switch it on → wait 30–45 seconds → refresh your shirt right on the hanger in 2 minutes before you head out.

Myth 4: you need special skills

• Add water: fill the removable tank with purified water and plug the appliance in.
• Hang the garment: put your clothes on a hanger — no ironing board needed.
• Glide the head: move the steamer over the fabric from top to bottom — the steam does all the work.
