I wanted to talk to you about ironing with the power of steam. Basically there are two types of ironing devices. One works by heating up a metal bottom and another that shoots steam out. Which do you think works best? Well,Ironing with the Power of Steam Articles I’d argue that the steam works best. Just consider this simple fact: the traditional iron was created over a hundred years ago. The device has moved up with technology, but it’s still the same old thing. You just run hot metal over your clothing. I think steam is the future of ironing and I’m going to explain to you exactly why.

The whole hot metal on fabric thing is something that has annoyed me.  Think about how you’re burning your fabric. Let’s not play with words; you’re burning it. You may not see the physical burns, but you’re damaging the fabric. Just another 10 seconds longer on the clothes and the fabric would probably be burned black. All you’re doing damaging your fabric to get out wrinkles and in the long run you’re going to reduce the life of your clothes.

Steam is something that gets rid of wrinkles without the damage. Heat is needed to get rid of the wrinkles, but steam is just hot water. Hot water isn’t going to do anything to the fabric. It isn’t going to hurt it or cause damage. All it is going to do is get into the fabric, break the bonds that create wrinkles and make your clothes look nice. You’re going to keep your fabric strong and it will last longer.
