Retail expert Carmen Lopez adds, “It is best to steam your items from top to bottom, holding the steamer a few inches away from the fabric in each area of your garment until you see the wrinkles disappear. Gently shake the fabric out from time to time to help relax the fibres.” Lightbown recommends using an iron for denser fabrics like denim and heavyweight cottons, but steams everything else. She especially likes steaming delicate fabrics which can be damaged by an iron, like silk, chiffon, satin and faux leather.

We covered the importance of choosing a great brand, earlier in the quality section of this review. Setup is straightforward and it’s easy to use: the steamer heats up in just 35 seconds and immediately sets to work with a surprisingly powerful jet of steam at its highest setting (there are three fabric modes to choose from). The steam plate’s ceramic coating can also easily withstand repeated use on buttons, zips and other features, which have a tendency to result in scratches. Continuous steam means the unit emits steam for several seconds at once, often up to 15 seconds in a handheld steamer, so you don’t have to keep pressing the button. It’s worth considering your needs and the energy usage of your clothes steamer prior to purchasing. If you plan to use your steamer for a couple of items, then a light energy, handheld device will do just fine.
