8 Benefits of Steaming Clothes you didn't know

Clothes steamers offer a convincing when comparing to the traditional steam iron. But there are also 8 things extra benefits from clothes steamers that most people don't realize.

Clothes steamers are a relatively new addition in shops for those wanting an alternative to ironing. The obvious benefits being cost and ease of use. But there are many more benefits; 8 in fact.

Steamers are better for the environment
A clothes steamer can actually substitute the washing machine when clothes are still relatively clean. The steaming action will freshen up the clothes, removing odors by killing 99% of the bacteria. This cuts wash loads and the use of wash chemicals which can harm the environment.

Clothes can last longer
The gentle action of steaming where it loosens fibers to remove creases as opposed to compressing them with an iron means the fibers and the clothes themselves last longer over time. So less clothes waste, and it helps drive the purchase of preowned clothes going forward.

Steaming kills bugs
The steaming action kills bugs in clothes such as dust mites, pollen, moths, bed bugs, even Covid held in clothing.

Steaming is quicker
Ironing feels quite fast, but steaming is much faster. From the faster heat up time, faster steaming time, and time saved not having to set up an ironing board.

A money saver
A clothes steamer saves money in a number of ways. Heating up time is quicker so saving electricity, and the gentle action on clothes means clothes last longer and allows gentle freshening of preowned clothes.

Protects delicates
Use on silk, chiffon, lace, beads and sequins with confidence.

No burning
The steaming process does not require excessive compression on clothes and therefore removes the risk of clothes burning and developing shiny spots.

Ideal on the move
The range of portable steamers on the market mean a steamer can be taken anyway outside of the home, without relying on an ironing board.
