Irons & Garment Steamers

Q: What is the difference between a steam iron and a garment steamer?

A steam iron uses a heated soleplate pressed directly onto fabric to remove wrinkles, making it ideal for achieving sharp creases on shirts, trousers, and linens. A garment steamer releases continuous steam without direct contact with the fabric, which is gentler on delicate materials like silk, chiffon, and wool. Many products in our collection are 2-in-1 designs that combine both functions for maximum versatility.

Q: How quickly do these steam irons and garment steamers heat up?

Heat-up times vary by model and wattage. Many of our handheld garment steamers reach operating temperature in as little as 15 seconds, while full-size steam irons typically take 30–60 seconds. Higher-wattage models (1500W–2200W) generally heat up faster and produce more steam output.

Q: What type of water should I use in my steam iron or garment steamer?

It is generally recommended to use distilled or demineralised water in steam irons and garment steamers. Using tap water in hard-water areas can lead to limescale build-up inside the water tank and steam vents over time, which can reduce performance and leave white deposits on fabrics. Check your product's manual for specific guidance.
