Clothes Steamers

[Fochit]

Considering getting one of these as I rarely iron and probably should.
Are they any good?

Sounds like a good idea. Will be interested to see what the responses are

i've used them loads at work
& much prefer them to irons. they are quite bulky though

I have one and much prefer it to ironing. I use a clothes rail on wheels to hang the clothes on as I steam. Usually shirts/blouses. Don't steam much else.

I have a little handheld steamer that I use every day, I rarely bother ironing nowadays. It's especially good for silky tops, the creases just fall out. Things like heavy cotton t shirts/shirts still need ironing though but my steamer might just not be heavy duty enough.

Fabulous for fabrics that are difficult to iron - silky/satiny and woollens

Thanks. I was hoping it may help DH with his shirts but it sounds like maybe not.

yeah not sure how good got shirts

for not got

They are great for things that need to get the creases out of them but I would have thought that shirts would need to be ironed to get the crease down the sleeve. I love my steamer, it’s so much faster than ironing and gives a better finish to my clothes.

This sounds great, can anyone recommend any models they have and like?

I have this. I wear very causal clothing, so I just use it for tops buts it’s great !

Mind and hang stuff after steaming to let it dry before putting back in a full wardrobe as it will smell of damp otherwise. So if doing a lot you may want to have a rail or something to hang them all on or a half empty wardrobe with plenty room between the clothes and the doors wide open to let the damp evaporate.
