Even with the miracle fabrics of today, there are times when a garment needs to have a few wrinkles taken away. Those of us who hate to iron will find the convenience of a Rowenta garment steamer very appealing.

Steamers do the same job as an iron, but with no need for an ironing board or similar hard surface. The article being ironed does not come into contact with hot metal, and there is no danger of scorching the fabric. Wrinkles are smoothed away by hot steam, which comes out of the hand-held steamer head. A garment in hung up and the parts being treated held taut while the steam is wafted over it.

To operate a steamer, you will need to fill a reservoir of water (tap water works well and is recommended over distilled water) and wait from one to several minutes for the water to boil and generate steam. Then you simply move the brush-like head on a flexible hose across the surface of the fabric, holding the cloth taut as you go over it. Wrinkles disappear like magic, even in tucks and ruffles that are hard to get to with a conventional iron.

Rowenta has a hand-held model that is great for quick touch ups or small jobs like a blouse or shirt for work that day. Many find that they will give a garment a quick steam when they would not bother to set out an iron and board. The water in the small tank will heat up in a little over two minutes, and the lightweight unit may be used with or without the brush attachment. The handle has a loop for hanging up between uses or it can be returned to its storage case.

At the other end of the model line is the new vertical steamer, which has an adjustable pole that holds a hangar for shirts and dresses. With a 60 second warm-up time, a control to release the right amount of steam for the job at hand, a generous tank that holds up to a gallon of tap water, and two and a half hours of steam from one fill, the model is large enough for commercial use but compact enough to fit int o a home storage closet. Features include foot operated power switch and cord retraction, a cool-touch handle, and a tilt-and-roll portability similar to a wheeled suitcase.

Whether you need a small unit or can appreciate the convenience of a large, multi-purpose one, a Rowenta garment steamer can make your life easier and your appearance flawless.
