How Does A Garment Steamer Make Life Easier?

Whether you consider yourself stylish or a complete fashionista, you would agree that neatly ironed clothes can make a huge difference to your look. And if you iron your clothes yourself you would completely agree on the utility of having a good steam iron. In summers we all love to wear cotton or linen clothes which look good only if ironed well. Normal steam irons are reasonably good for ironing clothes. Things get difficult if you are trying to iron heavier garments like a coat. Or a delicate chiffon sari perhaps?

Laying down a coat and ironing it out is difficult. In fact if you have a shirt with padded shoulders you would agree it isn't that easy to iron on the shoulder area.

It is in these situations that garment steamers come in handy. Garment steamers allow you to iron out clothes purely using the heat produced from steaming water. They give you the flexibility of ironing clothes while in a vertical position.

Its been a long time since I've been using a garment steamer - a very affordable one available in India from Maharaja Whiteline, Preciso. It has a nice and compact form, a transparent blue body where you add the water, a long pipe through which the steam comes out, and several attachment heads for different uses. It retails at Rs 6099 but you can buy it online at a discount for only Rs  4699

Now lets see how a garment steamer can help you out and make your life easier.

Situation 1: You are headed out for a party and you find that your delicate chiffon dupatta (scarf) is not ironed. You quickly try and iron it and the dupatta fabric gets burnt due to the heat.

Now instead of a regular steam iron you should use a garment steamer. Since the steamer is throwing out steam there is no hot surface that will touch your garment. The garment head of the steamer has gentle bristles that will brush past your garment while the steam irons out all the wrinkles.

Situation 2: You are headed for an important meeting and your coat has a few creases. Laying it out on an ironing board and reaching the area around the shoulder is a big pain.

Here you can simply hang your coat using the door hanger provided with the steamer and use steam to iron out even the toughest of wrinkles saving a lot of time! And to iron out the trousers that go with your coat you can make use of the crease head - this acts like a clasp on your garment making it easy to add a proper crease where needed.

Garment steamers come in very handy for 

1. Delicate clothes

2. Padded shoulders

3. Creating proper crease

4. Ironing out upholstery where having a vertical iron makes life so much easier, no more bending down for hours trying to iron those heavy curtains.

5. Jackets that have a nylon surface

6. Cushions

7. Scarfs and stoles

The Maharaja Whiteline Preciso garment steamer takes hardly a minute or two to heat up the water and the steam starts coming out. Once it starts you can continue to iron the clothes as long as there is water in the water tank. Once you are done with your ironing simply wrap the steam pipe around the body for compact storage. It also has a red light on the front power button to indicate that it is powered on.

At the current price of only Rs  4699 online its a very good deal
