Steam straighteners have several advantages over steam generators:

• Ease of use: Steamers are simple to use and start up quickly, without the need for an ironing board, allowing for quick and easy steaming of clothes.
• Portability: Their compact and lightweight design makes them easy to store and transport, ideal for small spaces and travel.
• Versatility: Suitable for different fabrics, including the most delicate, steamers can also freshen curtains and upholstery, offering a more varied use.
• safety: they reduce the risk of burning clothes, as they do not require direct contact with a hot soleplate.
• reduced maintenance: less subject to limescale, steamers require less maintenance compared to steam generators.
• Ideal for touch-ups: Perfect for quick touch-ups on one or two garments, steamers are a practical solution for light, everyday use.

Steam irons are therefore perfect for those looking for a practical, quick and easy solution for removing wrinkles from clothes and various textiles.

The choice of steamer depends on your needs and budget.
For occasional use and quick touch-ups, a handheld steamer will suffice.
For regular use and a large volume of laundry, opt for a vertical steamer (on stand).
For delicate fabrics and stubborn creases, choose a device with good power and a high steam output.
For ease of use, choose an ergonomic model with practical accessories.

There are several types of garment steamers, each designed to meet specific garment care needs. Here are the main types of garment steamers available:
- Portable (or hand-held) steamers: these models are compact, lightweight and easy to handle. They are perfect for traveling or quick use at home. Their water tank is generally small in capacity, making them suitable for quick touch-ups.
- Vertical (or stand) steamers: these models are larger and equipped with a larger water tank. They are mounted on a stand or support and often include an integrated hanger, which allows you to steam clothes directly on the support.
- Professional Steamers: These devices are designed for intensive use and are often used in commercial environments such as hotels, clothing stores or tailoring workshops. They are robust, powerful, and have large capacity water tanks.
- Combined Steam Steamers (Iron/Steamer): These hybrid models combine the features of a traditional iron and a steam steamer. They can be used either flat like an iron or vertically like a steamer. Our flagship model is the SteamCube.

The steamer is used in a vertical position to avoid condensation in the hose and to obtain optimal steam diffusion. Only certain models such as the SteamCube can be used in a horizontal position on an ironing board.
1/ First fill the tank then press the "on" button.
2/ Wait the indicated time before using it.
3/ Then place your garment on a hanger, button it if necessary and hang it on the integrated hanger rack.
4/ Hold the bottom of your garment to stretch the fabric and pass the diffusion head over it, touching the fabric well so that the steam passes through the fibers and relaxes them. Do not hesitate to remove your clothes from the telescopic rod. For shirt sleeves and collars, use the accessory provided for this purpose.
5/ Repeat the operation as many times as necessary.

Our steamers offer a versatile and safe solution for removing wrinkles and sanitizing all types of clothing (delicate materials such as silk, cashmere and wool as well as more robust textiles such as cotton and denim). They are also ideal for refreshing your sofas, cushions, bedding, tablecloths and curtains. With the different power modes, you can easily adapt the steam flow to each material and guarantee optimal care for each type of fabric.
For example, the steamer avoids polishing suits. You can therefore save money on dry cleaning.
