Just how many things can a steamer be used for…

A steamer is a versatile tool for all sorts of tasks, both in and around the home. Here are just a few of the many ways you can use a steamer:

1. Refresh your curtains

A garment steamer is perfect for refreshing your curtains without having to wash them or take them to the dry cleaners. The steam penetrates the fibres, removing dirt and odours and smoothing out the fabric. This way, your curtains will look as good as new without the hassle of taking them down and putting them back up.

2. Clean furniture and upholstery

Over time, upholstery and furniture can become a breeding ground for bacteria, allergens and odours. With a garment steamer, you can quickly restore these surfaces to their original freshness. The steam penetrates deep into the fabric, killing bacteria, removing allergens and neutralising odours. It’s an eco-friendly alternative to chemical cleaning products and leaves no harmful residues.

3. Mattresses and pillows

Mattresses and pillows can become a breeding ground for dust mites and allergens. With a steam cleaner, you can easily freshen up these items. The steam penetrates deep into the fabric, kills dust mites and bacteria, and neutralises odours. This ensures a healthier sleeping environment for you and your family.

4. Hard surfaces

Bathrooms can quickly become dirty due to mould and soap scum. A powerful steam cleaner removes these stains effortlessly. The steam penetrates the grout and dissolves mould and soap scum, allowing you to remove them easily without resorting to harsh cleaning products.

5. Table linen

With a garment steamer, you can ensure your table is always immaculate. Whether you’re organising a special dinner or simply love a beautifully laid table, a steamer quickly and easily removes creases from tablecloths and napkins. Ideal for last-minute touch-ups before entertaining guests.

6. Carpets

Save money and protect the environment by cleaning your carpets with steam instead of taking them to the dry cleaners. The steam penetrates deeply, kills bacteria and makes the fibres softer and easier to clean, allowing you to remove stains with ease.

7. Blankets and bed linen

Making the bed can be a tedious task, especially if the bed linen gets creased again whilst you’re tidying it up. Make the bed first, then use a steam cleaner to remove all the creases. Not only does this give it a smart look, but the hot steam also kills bacteria and refreshes the bed linen. Make sure, however, to let it dry thoroughly before getting under the duvet.

8. Soft toys

Disinfect your children’s favourite soft toys with a steam cleaner. Soft toys can accumulate dust and bacteria, causing odours and germs. With a steam cleaner, you can safely kill bacteria and eliminate odours, whilst keeping the soft toy soft. Refresh the soft toys and ensure a clean play environment.

9. Removing stickers

A steam cleaner is also useful for removing old stickers and cleaning hard-to-reach corners. The steam dissolves the glue, making the stickers easy to remove without leaving any residue.

These are just a few examples of how a steam cleaner can come in handy. Avoid using steam on wood and leather, but otherwise the possibilities are endless. Have fun with steam!
