Fabric Steamers??????
#1
Has anybody ever used a fabric steamer to iron clothing? My son hates to iron his clothes and he lives 1-1/2 hours away so I can't do it for him all the time. I was hoping somebody here has used one and can recommend one or let me know if they work.
Thank you,

I used to use one for pressing suits, etc, but never used it for regular shirts/cottons, etc. If you do get one, make sure you get one that has plenty of steam...I think it would be easier to make sure to purchase items of clothes that don't need to be ironed at all - that works for me now that I'm retired.

I agree with ktbb. I hate wrinkles, but I recently bought a blouse that is covered with them and the directions are to not iron it. Well, I thought I would hate it. I found out that I actually love it and hope I can find more. It is great to wash it, toss it in the dryer for a minute or two and then hang it to dry. The ease of the care makes me glad I bought it. I'm retired, too.

I used one when I worked at a bridal shop. The gowns looked great when you were done but they were damp so u had to hang them carefully to dry. I haven't used one on regular clothing. I'm a permanent press kind of girl.

If he has a dryer he can use that. Put it in for a few minutes and take out right away before dryer stops. If still wrinkled dampen a towel and put in with to get the "steam". Sorry I don't know of any steamers that are good otherwise.

I DID NOT say he is not capable of ironing his own clothes. He does but unlike alot of mothers... I enjoy helping my boys out no matter how old they get. He has his own iron and board and does use it. geeezzzzzz. I was just hoping to help him out because he works many many hours. I just thought a steam iron would be a good Christmas present for him.
