Any recommendations for a clothes steamer?

I have some clothes that I don’t wash between wears but could really do with a freshen/neaten up and was wondering whether a clothes steamer is the way to go - I could hang the item up and give it a quick once over. If you have one is it any good and how do you use it?

Thanks!

I have 2, a proper upright steaming station that I use for practically everything, haven't touched the iron since I got it. But it's pricey if you only want it for occasional use. In such case, one of the handheld travel steamers will do a perfectly fine job, like this one: www.amazon.co.uk/Tefal-DT7050-Voltage-Garment-Clothes/dp/B07FWN89VB/ref=sr_1_34?dchild=1&keywords=travel+steamer&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1610720910&sr=8-34

I did think of one of the steaming stations and then got distracted by the LG clothes steaming cupboards :grin:

I’d seen that Tefal one - looks like it will be worth a punt.

Thanks!

I have a very cheap little travel steamer from Amazon which has been brilliant. I hate ironing so use it most days and it does the job really well. The one I have is out of stock but there are many similar around the £20 mark.

I have a cheap little travel steamer too and it’s great to just steam an item quickly, it gets rid of wrinkles and freshens items up although it does overheat now and switch itself off so might need replacing. I haven’t used a proper steaming station so can’t compare, but I can’t get clothes as perfect as shops do with theirs, so there’s definitely room for improvement.
