This protects your clothing over time, reducing the wear and stress on fabric fibres from direct heat.

That’s because the powerful steam can penetrate all fabrics from delicate non-iron fabrics to heavy woollen items without any risk of burning or damage. That’s why garment steamers are preferred by dry cleaners and the fashion industry.
