With our modern fast paced lifestyles, finding easy and fast way to make our clothes presentable and fresh every day in important, and clothes steamers like the Propress PRO series do it in volumes. With no ironing board to set up, fast heat up times, and a versatility that irons struggle to compete with, the poularity of clothes steamers is growing rapidly.
Let's look at the benefits of clothes steamers and specifically Propress clothes steamers.
Benefits of clothes steamers
Quick and efficient
Clothes steamers, particularly the Propress MINI, heat up in just a few minutes; much faster than an iron. There's no ironing board needed - for the Propress MINI you simply hang garments on the back of a door for steaming, and in the case of the Propress PRO series the unit comes complete with a built in hanger fitment. The process of steaming the garment is also faster than a steam iron.
Ideal for delicates
Clothes steamers are ideal for delicates (for example second hand/preloved clothes, dresses made with silk, chiffon, lace, beads and sequins). The gentle steaming action removes wrinkles by relaxing the fibres, compared to the more aggressive compression of fibres from a steam iron. The result is clothes last longer.
Has a wide range of applications
Clothes steamers, particularly the Propress range of steamers, can be used to steam bed linen, pillow cases, curtains, table clothes, napkins, sofas, cushions, carpets (to remove those indentations from furniture legs), car seats, even windows to remove dirt. And the real beauty of a clothes steamer? They can all be steamed in-situ; without the need to remove and iron on an ironing board. Simply steam quickly and easily in place.
Steamers are better for the enviroment
Compared to a steam iron or the dry cleaner, a clothes steamer is less damaging to the environment. A clothes steamer can be used to save on washing machine runs - clothes that only have slight odours can be addresses with a quick steam, saving electricity, time and the use oa powder chemicals. Steaming can also replace the use of the dry cleaner for certain items. Jackets and dresses, and a range of delicates can be freshened and have wrinkles removed from simply steaming; again saving money and the use of harmful chemicals.
Kills bugs
Steaming eradicates dust mites and pollen, kills moths and bed bugs, and 99.9% of odour causing bacteria. It will even reduce and almost eliminate Covid held in clothes!
No burning or shiney patches
Often when ironing suit trousers, if the steam iron is too aggressive, you will see shiney patches developing. Not sure with a clothes steamer. An iron can scorch or even burn fabrics if the temperature is set too high.
Portable, ideal for traveling
A handheld steamer, such as the Propress MINI, is ideal for packing in to your suitcase when you are on the move. It fits in neatly with your clothes and doesn't require an ironing board. Now you can pack clothes in a suitcase safe in the knowledge that at the other end you can remove creases caused by traveling and have fresh, crease clothes to wear for those special occassions.
