Many people ask the question “Why steam when I have an iron?” or “Does steaming actually CLEAN my clothes?”

Well the short answer is: it’s SO much better for your clothes, and YES it does clean. Here we discuss 7 top benefits to steaming your clothes rather than ironing.

Ironing is a daunting task and some may say they don’t even do it anymore, what with the invention of wrinkle free clothes. But are they really wrinkle free?

But did you know how much damage ironing, especially on a high heat, does to your favourite shirt or blouse?

Here is everything you need to know about the benefits using a garment steamer.

7 Top Benefits To Steaming Your Clothes

Kills Bacteria & Removes Odour

Steam kills most of the bacteria in your clothes and removes those smelly odours that build up from sweat or the overuse of harsh chemicals when cleaning. Whilst at Steamins we still recommend that you wash and air dry your clothes before we work our magic, the steamer will help to kill that bacteria for good. Leaving your clothes smelling fresher than ever.

Safe & Gentle

Unlike ironing a steamer doesn’t make physical contact with your clothing. It avoids any risk of burning or unintented creasing. Even your delicates can withstand the heat without causing any damage.

Removes Wrinkles

Steaming your clothes relaxes the fabric, releasing wrinkles, and taking your clothes back to their natural form.

Alleviates Allergens

Steaming removes any nasty allergens that attract dust mites, causing you to itch and sneeze. A bonus for when you’re already suffering from hayfever.

Uses No Chemicals

Steam is simply created by heating up water, therefore is non-polluting and chemical free – keeping our air clean.

Not Just For Clothes

Because of the design of a steamer iron it is also great for removing creases from your home furnishings too, killing most germs and odours in the process. It’s great for freshening up your bedding, curtains, pillows, rugs and much more.
