Use a Handheld Steamer For Daily Clothing Care

In our daily clothing care, handheld steam hanging irons have become a convenient and efficient tool. The following is a detailed introduction on how to use it to care for daily clothes.

First, before use, make sure there is an appropriate amount of water in the hanging iron water tank. Generally speaking, just add water according to the water level mark of the hanging iron. It should be noted that clean distilled water or purified water should be used to avoid impurities in the water blocking the steam outlet, affecting the service life and ironing effect of the hanging iron. After adding water, plug the hanging iron into the power supply and wait for a while to let it preheat. During the preheating process, you can prepare the clothes to be ironed.

For the preparation of clothes, hang the clothes in a suitable place, such as on a hanger or on a special hanging ironing rack. If the clothes have many wrinkles, you can shake them gently first to let the wrinkles spread slightly, which can make ironing smoother.

When the hanging iron is preheated, you can start ironing. For the handheld hanging iron, keep the steam nozzle at an appropriate distance from the clothes, generally about 10-15 cm. If the distance is too close, the clothes may be partially wet, and may even burn some delicate fabrics; if the distance is too far, the steam power is insufficient and wrinkles cannot be effectively removed.

There are different techniques for ironing clothes of different materials. For cotton clothes, since cotton is more resistant to heat, you can stay for a few more seconds to allow the steam to fully penetrate the fibers. Start from the collar of the clothes and iron along the shoulders, cuffs, front, back and other parts in turn. For silk clothes, be extra careful, keep a long distance, and move the steamer quickly, because silk is easily damaged by high temperatures. Try to let the steam gently stroke the surface of the clothes. For wool products, use a low temperature setting and iron from the back of the clothes to reduce direct damage to the wool fibers.

During the ironing process, pay attention to the speed and direction of moving the steamer, try to keep a uniform speed and move in a straight line to ensure that the steam evenly covers the surface of the clothes. If you encounter stubborn wrinkles, you can leave the steamer at the wrinkles for a while, or use repeated short-distance movements to enhance the effect of steam.

After using the handheld steamer, unplug the power cord, wait for the steamer to cool down, and then pour out the remaining water in the water tank to prevent bacteria from growing in the water tank. Store the steamer in a dry, ventilated place for next use.

The handheld steamer brings great convenience to daily clothing care. As long as you master the correct usage method, you can easily keep the clothes clean and smooth, and extend the wearing life of the clothes.
