Not too long ago garment steamers were only found in dry cleaners, tailor shops or clothing stores. I can remember buying a sports jacket at the local men's store years ago. The fit was perfect right off of the rack but it was rather wrinkled so the tailor took it into the back room and came out with it perfectly pressed. When I asked how he did that so quickly he told me he had a garment steamer in the back room.
Back then I didn't know what a garment steamer was, however, I could only imagine that they quite were expensive and cumbersome. Today, garment steamers are affordable, versatile, easy to work with and available for you to have in your home. You may wonder if it is worth having a garment steamer at home, after all, you probably already have a steam iron to iron your clothes. Why would you need a garment steamer? Because an iron is not as versatile as a garment steamer and it will not do all the tasks around your home that a garment steamer can do.
Not only can you use your garment steamer to get the wrinkles out of your clothes, your garment steamer also sanitizes and disinfects your clothes at the same time. You would be surprised, and I imagine pleased, at some of the other tasks it can perform.
I'm sure you have heard about the national outbreak of bed bugs. Have you every traveled, even a short trip on business, and returned home worried that you may have picked up some bed bugs. Your garment steamer will not only kill any bed bugs you may have on your clothes but you can use your garment steamer to steam clean your suit case, your coats or jackets and anything else you may have taken on your trip.
In addition to clothes, your garment steamer can be used in many other areas of your home. You can use your garment steamer to disinfect and sanitize your mattresses. This will not only eliminate bed bugs it will also eliminate dust mites and other allergens that may bother your allergies.
Garment steamers can also be use to remove the wrinkles from curtains and drapes while they are on your windows. This would also eliminate any bed bugs, dust mites and other allergens hiding in your curtains or drape. Window curtains and drapes are well known as great hiding place for all kinds of allergens as well as bed bugs and fleas.
The upholstery on your furniture is another good place to use your garment cleaner. Not only will it remove wrinkles your garment steamer will remove odors and give your entire room a fresher, cleaner smell. Your garment steamer will also eliminate bed bugs, dust mites and fleas that may have found their way onto your furniture.
As you can see, garment steamers have come a long way in recent years. And they have become more affordable making it more realistic to have a garment steamer in your home to keep so many things clean, fresh and wrinkle free. It may be time for you to consider having a garment steamer in your home.
