The weather is warming and it’s now time to bring out your lighter clothes, after all, you want to look your best after all those months of brittle cold and staying indoors. But alas, you find that your clothes are all wrinkled from being kept away and you’ll now have to iron through a mountain pile of clothes. Ironing is definitely at the top of your to-do list but you wonder if there’s a more efficient and less time-consuming way to get through the chore. Here’s where the garment steamer shines, and find out why they are superior and preferred over traditional irons.

What is a garment steamer?

Green Cleaning

Garment steamers are designed to smooth clothes and remove creases. Unlike an iron, a steamer takes wrinkles out of clothes without the need to make any contact or apply extreme heat directly onto the clothing. Instead, the jets of steam are able to relax the fabric from a short distance away, whilst the item is suspended on a hanger. And because a steamer works vertically, you don’t need an ironing board.

5 reasons to use a garment steamer

Here are five reasons why buying a garment steamer is a good idea:

  • Use on delicate items of clothing – because no contact is made with the fabric, there is little chance of burning or damage.
  • Quick and easy to use – you’ll be able to whizz over clothes in less time than when using an iron. Most garment cleaners are lightweight, handheld devices that are simple to manoeuvre.
  • Don’t need an ironing board – you can leave your clothes on their hangers, which makes the process faster and you’ll need less space to use the steamer.
  • Use when you’re on-the-go – due to their compact size, many people choose to take garment steamers when travelling.
  • Multiple functions – many garment steamers, including H2O X5, can be used for other jobs around your home, like refreshing carpets and upholstery.

If you want to breeze through your laundry, look no further than the H2O X5, a multi-functional device that not only cleans your house but also takes care of your laundry.

It’s important to test the steamer on cloth if you’re steaming for the first time. Be careful not to over steam your clothes as the high temperatures can damage the material so always start with a lower setting and increase it only when it is needed.
