Even though dress codes today are not as strict as they once were, it is still a good idea to iron your shirt. A shirt full of wrinkles simply doesn’t look very nice, and it never hurt anyone being properly dressed. A flat iron is a household must. So naturally, Point has a wide selection so everyone can find their favorite. From our top model for the frequent ironer, to lower priced yet effective options for those who iron every now and then. We also have several travel models, so there is no need to wear a wrinkly shirt on vacation!
A great alternative or addition to the flat iron is the clothes steamer. No ironing board is necessary – just hang your blouse, shirt, dress our skirt on a hanger, and let the steam even out folds and wrinkles. In Point’s offering, you can find several different clothes steamers, all with different benefits, so you can find one perfect for your needs.
In your home, you do not want a messy tablecloth and you do not want to put up a curtain full of creases and wrinkles. So why would you want to dress like that either? While we may no longer wear straight suits and dress shirts every morning, it is still important to take good care of your clothes. And it is not just about the clothes we use but taking good care of all textiles in the home – the better we take care of the textiles, the longer they last!
How do they work?
Proper clothing care means taking good care of your clothes. Steaming and ironing maintain the good quality of the garment and refresh it without a spin in the washing machine. Since both devices utilize steam to straighten the garment, it is a good idea to briefly go through the differences between them.
In the garment steamer, the garment is straightened and refreshed completely by hot steam. This way you can use the steamer without an ironing board by hanging your clothes on a coat hanger, making it an excellent choice for busy mornings and trips. The garment steamers are hand-operated and small in size, so they also fit well in your suitcase.
Flat irons also produce steam, and they iron clothes with both steam and hot iron. As the name implies, the iron straightens clothes against the ironing board, and adding steam can remove even the most difficult wrinkles. You will also find smaller travel versions on our irons that are easy to grab along for a trip.
The benefits of steaming
Even if you do not know all the secrets of washing clothes, you can still take care of your clothes the right way. Hot steam both smooths out clothes and removes odours. Yet it is not just wrinkles you can conquer with the steamer. The hot steam kills bacteria, so you can freshen up clothes and save them from a round in the washing machine. Steaming also contributes to maintaining the shape of clothes so that they will look nicer for longer.
The garment steamer in particular is gentle on more delicate materials, such as wool and silk, for which you may not want to use a flat iron. In addition to smoothing, steam also refreshes textiles. Just drape the clothing on the hanger, steam and hang it to ventilate in front of the window – and it will look and feel like new. When you notice the positive effects of steaming your home textiles, you may get hooked on it!
Pamper your clothes!
By now you will have learned that ironing your clothes does not require heavy weapons, just choosing a device from our selection that is suitable for your own needs. If the appliance is used a lot, you will benefit from our more advanced models, while for occasional use a simpler model will suffice. If you want a high-performance appliance, you should check its steam output and power. We are confident that you will find the right match from our classically designed devices.
