Ironing clothes is one particular chore that most people have an aversion to. However, it is crucial to ensure your outfit looks smart and well taken care of. To ensure the same, dry irons have been our friend and a common household electrical appliance for the longest time. However, with modern technological advancements – new kinds of ironing equipment have been introduced that are arguably better at removing wrinkles and offer a host of features that conventional dry irons cannot match up to.
Such ironing equipment depends on the usage of hot steam to permeate within the fabric and release any fibre, thereby ironing clothes on a deeper level and releasing the toughest of wrinkles and folds. The two kinds of steam-based ironing machines are:
a) A steam iron with a large water tank, wherein the soleplate contains multiple vents that eject hot steam from the tank onto the fabric during pressing.
b) A garment steamer wherein no physical contact is required between the appliance and the garment. After the generation of steam in large water tanks, the hot steam is ejected onto the hanging fabrics through an opening in the handle.
Havells, a premiere brand for electrical goods, has a wide variety of steam irons and garments which are extremely efficient and robust. Let’s take a deeper look into its premium line of garment steamers to understand what makes them so convenient to use!
