Handheld Garment Steamer Usage And Tips Guide

Hey, friends! If you have just bought a handheld steamer or are not familiar with its use, then take a look at this guide, which will ensure that you can easily deal with wrinkles in clothes.

Preparation before use

First, you have to add water to the steamer. This water is very particular. It must be distilled water or purified water. Don't use tap water, otherwise, after a long time, there will be scale in the steamer, which will not work well. When adding water, be careful not to exceed the highest water level marked on the water tank, otherwise the water may overflow. After adding water, put the steamer on a stable place, plug in the power supply, press the switch, and let it preheat for a while.

Clothing preparation

At this time, we can prepare the clothes to be ironed. If the clothes are particularly wrinkled, shake them first to loosen the wrinkles. If there is a hanger, hang the clothes on the hanger. If not, hang them on a clothesline or other places that can be hung. In short, let the clothes droop naturally, so that it is convenient to iron.

Start ironing

After preheating, you can start working with the hanging iron. When holding the hanging iron, hold the handle tightly and don't let it fall. Then point the nozzle at the clothes, and keep a distance of about 10-15 cm between the nozzle and the clothes. This distance is very important! If it is too close, the clothes will be too wet and may be burned. If it is too far, the steam will not have the strength to smooth out the wrinkles.

When ironing, move the nozzle evenly on the clothes. If it is a large area, such as the back of a shirt or the front of a coat, slowly move the nozzle from top to bottom or from left to right to allow the steam to fully open the wrinkles. If you encounter small areas such as collars and cuffs, move the nozzle a little closer, but also pay attention to the distance, slowly move the nozzle, and iron the wrinkles a little bit. If there are stubborn wrinkles, keep the nozzle in that place for a while, or move it repeatedly nearby several times.

Treatment of different materials

If you are ironing cotton clothes, you can use a little more force to let the steam penetrate for a while, because cotton is more resistant to scalding. If it is silk clothes, you have to be careful, the nozzle should be farther away, and the action should be gentle and fast, because silk is very delicate and easy to be scalded. For wool clothes, the temperature should be lowered a little, and it is best to iron from the back of the clothes, so as to protect the wool fibers.

After use

After using the hanging iron, unplug the power first, then wait for it to cool completely, pour out the remaining water in the water tank, and then put the hanging iron in a dry and ventilated place to put it away, so that it will be in good condition next time you use it.

How about it, the method and skills of using a handheld steam hanging iron are not difficult, right? Come and try it, let your clothes become smooth and neat!
