As your drycleaner knows, steam is the gentlest, safest, most efficient method to remove wrinkles from fabrics. The powerful action of garment steamers penetrates fibres, relaxes them and causes wrinkles to release. Unlike ironing, the gentle method of steaming increases the life of clothing. Garment steamers breathe new life into fabrics; conversely, ironing crushes fibres. Many garment steamer users have found that steaming is up to five times faster than conventional ironing.
