A garment steamer can be a perfect way to get wrinkles out of clothes, even if it's not normally used a lot. This article will teach you how to use the vaporizer and how to iron your clothes quickly.
Steps
Step 1. Plug in the vaporizer plug
The vaporizer is usually sold together with a small padded rectangle with a strap that you need to put your hand in. (If it was sold to you without it and you don't have it, cut a rectangle from a piece of stiff cardboard, stuff it with cotton and cover it with strong, smooth, water-proof, waterproof material.)
Step 2. Make sure it works well before using it
You can find out by pressing the small button on the handle and seeing how much steam comes out when you leave it. It is the same action you will do when you use the vaporizer with your clothes, to release more steam when it is needed.
Step 3. Hang the dress, and put a hand in the padded rectangle
Step 4. Place your hand with the rectangle inside the dress, and use it to make the fabric stay smooth as you iron it
Step 5. Use the vaporizer by holding the nozzle on the dress and ironing down while keeping the padded rectangle at the same height
Advice
- If you are trying to iron a hat, use the vaporizer a little bit and then reshape it, using the vaporizer as you see fit. Put a newspaper in it on the tip so that it maintains a more defined shape.
- You can dry clean your clothes even at home if you have a vaporizer. You'll need to get some chemicals and find out how to use them correctly, but it's worth it.
- If you are trying to iron fabric, such as velvet, you can either use a special accessory, or you can iron it and then fluff it out using a brush.
