I used my little Steamer for the first time tonight. The article of clothing I steamed was extremely wrinkled. This little steamer did an amazing job and in half the time it would have taken for me to iron it. I am impressed!

My latest steamer gets a lot more water on the clothes that my original ones did. (I am on at least #3 because we really do use it a lot.) It was not a problem with my original ones. Don't overfill, and hold it upright. For silk I would suggest not getting it too close or too hot.

You have to hang the clothes on a hanger and steam from there. If it gets wet it is because you're over filling it. Make sure you do not put water above the max line.

I hang my article of clothing on a hanger on a rod in my laundry room and with my left hand I pull the bottom of the clothing downs and steam with the steamer in my right hand. Go slowly with the steaming on the clothing, it will smooth out wrinkles better.

Paula, I'm very sorry to hear that and you'll be very sorry to hear that I have the same problem too. In the end I did not like this steamer at all, but I did not have the chance to return it.

I threw mine in the dryer...very low and short time, ironing not necessary, however I am sure that you could, but once again..needs to be low setting!!

It removes some wrinkles, but without seeing the garment, it's impossible to say. Having seen rayon blouses mangled by the dryer, I think ironing is your best bet.The product has never stained anything I have used it on, used according to directons.

I have not send any shine on my fabrics from this iron. I use it on the highest setting because most of my ironing is on cotton fabric for quilting. One or two passes over the fabric is all that is required so remove the most stubborn wrinkles!!

I just used mine this morning to steam the wrinkles out of a linen shirt, which took me at least 10 minutes, and the steam was strong and even throughout. My wife uses it much more than I do (like every day) and I've never heard her complain about it stopping. Sounds like there might be a problem with yours. Have you decalcified it lately? I think just running some white vinegar through it does the trick.

It works on table clothes very well. You just need to be a little more generous if its really wrinkled.

I put a towel over mine a steamed it with the iron. Try it with a color you probably won't use 1st that's what I did.

It depends on the fabric and how much you have to steam it to get the wrinkles out. However, I can usually steam them before I shower and they're dry by the time I'm done. Not too damp at all.

Your material must be flat and smooth. Also make sure you have the proper setting for thr type of fabric you're ironing. Maybe turn down the steam setting too. Good luck!

Yes! In fact I always use it dry with dampened clothes because of how the steam spits. I've gotten one too many burns to use the steamer.

My first steam iron was wonderful and lasted 8 years. This new is continues to leak water off/on. Very frustrating. The suggestion I was given was to fill with water and then turn it on. Allow 11 mins (or more) to heat up. I will give it a few squirts in the upright prior to ironing. This helps and the water will not squirt onto my clothing. I also have to make sure the dials are both on full steam. Hope it helps. I also passed the return date and am dealing with it.

I think it is probably a fluke; we have had ours in heavy rotation for a little while with no trouble. I have, however, had trouble with snaps and tearing on other clothing, so I have tried to get in the habit of using my nails when unsnapping rather than tugging the fabric. Good luck!

Mine does not wet the fabric but it does put out quite a bit of steam. Working with small quilting parts, you could easily get a steam burn if you don't get your hand out of the way. You can adjust the steam but I've never tried as I like the steam. It is an awesome iron. Helen

This is my 2nd one of these and I've never cleaned the boiler. I don't think you can access the boiler to clean it. The iron gets very hot, hot enough to give you steam burns if your fingers get too close. It will iron out linen and cotton. I find it easier to air dry those fabrics before ironing them and the wrinkles iron out easier.

I have never cleaned the boiler and I use this iron a lot. When I iron heavily creased linen I use Nancy's Best Press,which you can buy at a quilt shop or on Amazom.com. It doesn't make the garment stiff but really helps get out wrinkles.

Wet it on delicate cycle in washing machine and dry on low heat. Wrinkles will come out.

I have done that. One side is flocked and the other side is not. That is true side I ironed on. Low heat and it took the wrinkles right put.
