Application Of Steam Irons In Commercial Laundry

What are the general applications of steam irons in commercial laundries?

1. Wrinkle removal of clothing

Adapt to a variety of materials

Commercial laundries receive a variety of clothing materials, including cotton, linen, wool, silk and various synthetic fibers. Steam irons can generate high-temperature steam, which can penetrate into the fibers of clothing of different materials. For cotton clothing, steam can soften the fibers and easily remove wrinkles; for wool products, the low temperature of the steam iron or the appropriate distance control can be used to restore the flatness without damaging the wool; silk clothing can maintain its luster and eliminate wrinkles under the gentle action of steam.

Handling complex clothing structures

Many clothes have complex structures, such as dresses with pleated designs and suits with multiple layers of fabric. Steam irons can flexibly process various parts of these clothes, and the nozzles can be aimed at the gaps of the pleats, collars, cuffs, hems and other details, so that the entire piece of clothing can achieve the ideal wrinkle removal effect.

2. Improve the quality of clothing

Shaping clothing lines

In laundries, for some clothes that need straight trouser lines and crisp collars, steam irons can shape clear and beautiful lines through high temperature and appropriate pressure. For example, the cuffs and collars of business shirts are more neat and professional after being processed by steam irons, which improves the overall texture of the clothes.

Restore clothing style

Washed clothes may have problems with style distortion, and steam irons can help restore their original style. For example, the shoulders and back of coats can regain their original three-dimensional sense under the action of steam, making the clothes look like new products.

3. Sanitary treatment

Sterilization and disinfection

Commercial laundries must ensure the hygiene of clothes. The high-temperature steam of steam irons has the function of sterilization and disinfection, which can effectively kill harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, mites, etc. on clothes. This is especially important for public use clothes, such as hotel sheets, quilt covers, or hospital work clothes, which can prevent cross infection and protect the health of users.

Remove odors

Clothes may produce odors during wearing or storage. The steam from the steam iron can remove some odor molecules while penetrating the clothes. Especially for clothes with odors such as smoke and sweat, steam treatment can improve the odor to a certain extent and enhance the freshness of the clothes.

4. Improve work efficiency

Quick operation

Steam irons usually have a short preheating time and can be put into use quickly. Moreover, its operation is relatively simple, and laundry employees can quickly master the skills, so as to efficiently handle a large number of clothes to be ironed, meeting the high workload requirements of commercial laundries.

Continuous working ability

High-quality steam irons have stable performance and can work continuously for a long time without failure, ensuring that the laundry can successfully complete the ironing task during busy hours and improve overall operational efficiency.
