How to Steam Your Garment
The garment steamer is easy to use
and is perfect for removing wrinkles/
creases from garments and curtains
as well as refreshing furnishing fabrics.
It can be used on most fabrics as long
as the fabric is hanging or where the
garment steamer can be easily used
in an upright position moving over the
fabric in an up and down motion.
NOTE:
The garment steamer
is designed to be used in an
upright position on hanging
garments. Refrain from using
the steamer in or on garments
in a horizontal position.
1.
Check that there is ventilation
behind the fabric otherwise
moisture may build up causing
mildew.
2.
Check garment pockets are
empty and turn-ups such as
cuffs and hems are down.
3.
Hang the garment from a hanger
and stretch the fabric slightly with
one hand checking that there is
nothing behind the fabric that
can be damaged by the steam.
NOTE:
We recommend you
do not steam over metal
accessories. Use caution
and steam around the
metal accessories.
4.
Press and hold down the steam
button. You will feel vibrations
and hear a subtle humming
sound while steaming; this is
normal. Steam facing away from
you and in an upright position.
5.
Gently press the fabric brush
against the garment, moving your
arm in an up and down motion
targeting creases in the fabric.
6.
Release the steam button to stop
the steam.
NOTE:
Ensure that the fabric to
be steamed is being stretched
whilst steaming for best results.
WARNING:
The garment
steamer generates high
temperatures of steam.
Do not touch the steam
head. Make sure the
steamer is facing
away from you in
an upright position.
7.
If using the garment steamer
without the fabric brush, keep a
distance of at least 5cm between
the steam head and the garment.
To Steam Curtains
1.
Wash and dry curtains as directed,
according to the fabric type.
2.
Hang the curtains and steam
when they are hanging in place.
3.
Lightly stretch the curtain with
one hand while steaming to help
remove creases more easily.
To Steam Upholstery
1.
The garment steamer can be used
to help freshen up upholstery, slip
covers on furniture and cushions.
This will help to remove odours
from the furniture and in the room.
Before steaming, always test on a
small area of the fabric that is
not visible.
