Professional Garment Steamer

Professional Garment Steamer

Whether you own a business that needs to keep clothes clean, fresh and wrinkle free, or you're a consumer who wants clothes wrinkle free and fresh in a fraction of the time it takes to use a flat iron, then the professional garment steamer is the answer for you.

Why You Need One

This device will let you apply steam to clothes hanging on a rack. By applying that hot steam the fabrics relax and wrinkles fall out of them. It also provides a nice freshening affect which also gives them an image boost. A garment steamer is usually found in a clothing store, a dry cleaner shop or a clothing rental facility. However, many consumers are looking to have them in their homes now simply because of the added convenience of quickly steaming out the wrinkles without having to setup an ironing board.

If you have clothes that have been in storage for a while, perhaps your winter clothing that needs to come out now, they probably have a bit of stale smell to them. You can sanitize the fabric and bring them back to freshness with a steamer like this. Instead of having to rewash them or get out the iron, just roll your steamer over to the closet area and start doing each one. It just takes a minute or less for each piece of clothing to become wrinkle free and odorless.

Current owners have expressed their appreciation for the speed of these machines and how great it is to not have to iron them. For most professional people you need to have dress clothes (like suits, dresses and dress shirts) that are sharp. No wrinkles, it can't look like you just rolled out of bed. You can set this up in the morning and quickly get your day's outfit or suit cleaned up and wrinkle free in just a few minutes. If you want to do the entire wardrobe some afternoon that's fine, too.

What to Look For

You may want to consider the hanging board so that your clothes don't shift around during the steaming process. By steaming them against the board they will stay flat and in one place making it even easier and faster to sanitize them.

When buying one of these, definitely read the reviews as not all of them are made the same. The hanging attachment will matter as some people say that using a regular hanger makes it tougher. You'll want one with either a hanging board or a bulkier hanging attachment in order to keep the clothes in place. You may also want to consider the tank size and how long you'll be able to steam on one tank of water. If you need to do a lot of pieces at one time, the bigger tanks would provide more value to you. Additional convenience features such as a low water indicator light, foot pedals and crease attachment are nice bonuses but not always required or available. If you want to completely eliminate ironing from your life then you'll need the crease attachment for trousers.

The good news is that while you'd think these would be expensive, really good models can be obtained for less than $100, often less than $80. With free shipping it's a pretty good deal. The most popular models are by Jiffy, Rowenta and Conair. We have provided purchase information on each of them.
