Clothes Steamers & Ironing

With a good clothes steamer you can quickly and efficiently remove wrinkles from even the most delicate fabrics and easily smooth out those difficult and fiddly areas such as under the armpit - without harsh creases.

Other benefits of industrial clothes steamers:

• Get rid of that bulky ironing board (more space in the stock room!)
• No burning or scorching the fabric
• Use them to quickly refresh clothes or upholstery – they help get rid of odours
• Lots of fabrics (such as linen, wool, silk and upholstery) can’t be ironed but come up beautifully with a steamer
• Helps reduce or remove bacteria

Essentially, anyone who handles fabrics or clothing on a regular basis could benefit from using a steamer. Some key industries to mention are: charity, dry cleaners, fashion, wardrobe departments in theatre, production companies, fashion university and college students, management companies, cruise liners, hospitality, bridal/ dress shops and clothing retailers.

Another huge rising market for steamers is everyday domestic use in place of an iron, with lots of people having less time and less space, the appeal is easy to understand!

We stock a wide range of professional clothes steamers that we have hand selected because we believe they present the best offering in their class – in terms of functionality, power, and usage time and of course price.

• Handheld or upright steamer?: Handheld steamers are very easy to manoeuvre light-weight and heat up quickly. They are perfect for home use, a quick refresh at an event or sporadic use in a smaller outlet. Upright steamers are better for professional or commercial use, or for larger quantities.
• Water tank capacity: The larger the water tank, the longer you can steam continuously – we offer everything from 1.4 litre models to the incredible 7 litres offered by Speedypress.
• Durability of the castors for easy movement.
• Power supply –the higher the wattage the more powerful the machine.
• Length of continuous use – we sell the Speedy Press portable which steams for up to 210 minutes - longer than any other steamer available in Europe!
• Warranty – some steamers claim a lifespan of up to 50 years and offer a 25 year warranty.
• Can it be used with tap water? Some can, even in hard water areas.
• How long do I need the hose to be? Some offer the option of an extra-long hose.
• Accessories – what will I use it for? There are features such as removable steam head brushes for velvet fabrics, built in hanging facilities etc.
• Would it be helpful to have one with a European two pin plug to use when travelling?
• Do I need features such as auto-shut off and low water warning buzzers (although these are pretty standard for most models)?
