With the invention of the iron hostess, it became much easier to care for things. However, the existing manifold of models of irons and sweeps can cause a lot of questions and doubts. Today manufacturers call on everyone to smooth out things by steam. This is the least traumatic for fibers of ironing. About different ways of evaporation and talk today.
What it is?
The principle of operation of any steamer is built on the supply of high pressure jet of hot steam. This stream of wet hot air is heading for clothing, due to which the folds available on it are smoothed. But this is not the only dignity and advantage of such devices. To understand why they are becoming increasingly popular, we will analyze their main advantages.
- Careful attitude to fabric. The main problem of irons is that they can spoil or even burn the product. Make it impossible to make it. Hot air carefully smoothes the fabric, without leaving on it the famous plots, glimpses and chances.
- Reducing ironing time. Many believe that the ferry ironing requires more time. Indeed, the device needs more time to warm up, but then the process goes much faster.
This is especially true of complex things on which there are many volanses, ruffles or there are several layers.
- There are things that are physically impossible to alter the iron. These include delicate thin fabrics, wool and fur. But for the excarber, there are practically no restrictions on the use. It is very convenient to use the instrument when caring for furniture, curtains and plaids.
- It has disinfectant properties. High temperature not only smooth fabric, but also kills harmful microorganisms on it. It becomes relevant not only when ironing clothes, but also in caring for furniture, carpets and covers (furniture, automotive).
- Eliminates unpleasant odors. As in the previous case, it is relevant for those surfaces and items that cannot be wrapped in a typewriter or manually.
Varieties of devices
On the market you can find completely different devices designed for sipping. They differ in appearance and functions and price. To understand how suitable for your goals is suitable, a peculiar classification of devices and a description of their advantages will help.
Manual
A small and affordable device will become an indispensable assistant on trips or as a supplement to the iron. Consider it as the main device for ironing is not worth it. Little reservoir and small power will create additional problems. The fact is that the time of operation of the device is limited to 10-15 minutes. Then you have to re-pour and warm the water.
With a large volume of the products, it is very uncomfortable. But on trips, he shows itself from the best side. He has modest sizes and everything that is required to work with it is a socket, water and hanger (although you can do without it).
Outdoor
These instruments are beneficial from the previous type with their characteristics. They are a water tank and telescopic rack. From the tank there is a hose to which the steamer handle is attached (pairs will be served). It can have several nozzles or be the only one in the set.
More expensive models have not only a telescopic rack with a hanger, but also a vertical ironing surface. It simplifies work. Clothes do not have to additionally hold, it will be comfortable to lay down to the board.
Steam generator
The device is the symbiosis of the iron and the sweeping. He has a separate water tank. The same device is identical with the iron. After the hose from the tank, pairs under pressure are served. It hits the fabric through the holes in the sole of the iron.
The advantage of the device is a large water tank. It will not be necessary to constantly pour water when ironing large volumes. The minus is the low mobility of the device and the need to highlight an additional place (stand) for the tank. Well, and, of course, do not do without an ironing board.
With steam cleaner function
Some modern devices are equipped with such a function as a ferry cleansing. With it, it will disappear the need for additional washers of such products such as covers, furniture and heavy curtains. Of course, the traditional wash curtain he will not be able to replace, but it will have to do it much less. After all, the product will be maintained clean most of the time. The difference from the ordinary swaparer consists in constant feeding steam under pressure. Due to this, the effect of purification is achieved.
How to use the iron?
Under the general name "Iron" two devices can hide. This is an ordinary iron, and a device with a sweep function. At the same time, not only methods of their application differ, but also the principle of operation itself. To sort out how to use them right, we will give a brief description of both devices.
Almost all modern models of irons are equipped with a small water tank. But the pair here performs auxiliary function. Smoothing occurs due to incandescing the sole of the device. The volume of water tank is limited to the size of the iron itself. Such a quantity is not enough for a large number of products if the steam will be supplied constantly and under high pressure. But they can still smooth out small flies or thin fabrics without touching the product itself.
The iron-steamper has a slightly different design. The water tank is separate and connected to the device with a thin hose. Couples through it and served. The effect of smoothing is achieved due to the supply of hot wet air and the sole itself. At the same time, the temperature of the ironing can be adjusted independently, like a steam pressure.
With the first device everything is clear and simple. It is familiar to many owners and questions on its operation does not arise. But the steam generator appeared at our disposal relatively recently. Previously, they were only available to professionals working in dry cleaning and atelier. Therefore, it is worth dealing with the principle of its use.
- Pour water into a special tank. It is worth noting that it will be necessary to pour water into the iron with the steam generator during the ironing process if you have not been enough for the liquid.
- Stop the desired temperature and steam pressure. In many devices, this can be done automatically by switching the knob to the desired tissue type. Look also on the icon attached to the clothes. Manufacturers indicate the conditions for care of clothing, including temperature and ironing method.
- The pair feed button is located below the knob. It is very convenient to clamp if a constant feed air is needed. But you can iron and as usual. But you should not leave the tank blank, as it will heat up and without fluid can fail.
- Another plus of the steam generator is the fact that even if you left it in a horizontal position, after 10 minutes it will stop heating. This will prevent the risk of fire.
- The process of ironing is not different from using an ordinary iron. You also have the same thing on the ironing board and begin to remove all existing folds and chances.
- The steam generator can also be used in a vertical position. It is convenient when leaving the curtains. But then you should choose a device with a long hose.
How to stroke?
Although the steamer refers to universal instruments for ironing, there are certain nuances of its use for various types of products. Tell me how to smooth various materials and fabrics with it.Clothes from fabric
It seems that there should be no questions about the use of the siparer, because it is intended to smooth out clothes. But would you decide to use a new device, for example, for ironing wedding dresses and fata? There is a question not only in the price of the product itself, but also the key value that this thing plays. On the use of iron and speech can not be when the question concerns very delicate tissues. It was then to the aid and the ferry ironing comes.
We only give a small list of those things that you would not be dispreded to entrust the usual iron, but without fears can be treated with an excavator:
- Capron;
- fatin (skirts, blouses);
- bows;
- Berets and hats;
- Park, jacket and other outerwear;
- Satin dress.
Each hostess has this list to be supplemented depending on those things that are present in the wardrobe. If you have difficulty with these categories of things, then it is easy to think seriously about buying this instrument. Of course, you can do without it, but it is not necessary to challenge the fact that the device greatly simplifies care for many things.
Fur products
None of fashion will not come to mind to iron his expensive mink coat with an ordinary iron or even a steam generator. For such a delicate product only the saparir will suit. In the process of improper storage, the pile can purchase chances and become wavy. And here you can not do without this device. After all, it is precisely such devices in professional dry-cleaners and sales of fur products (only their power and functionality is significantly wider). In order not to spoil the fur and the skin itself under it, you need to adhere to some rules when you sip the product with your own hands.
- The product should hang on wooden shoulders. Their size should be optimal for this fur coat.
- Steaming begins with warm-up. For this, the instrument must be kept at a distance of 20 cm from the product. Gradually, you can cut it up to 15 cm. But do not learn the steamer close to the pile.
- After the work is completed several times, shake the product. So you get rid of a large amount of water. Without removing a fur coat from the shoulders, hang to dry it.
In this way, you can disappear mink coat, articles from the sands (including collars and the edge) at home. The same rules of evaporation are applicable for artificial products. Only here you can skip the warming step, as there is no risk to damage the natural pile or leather lining.
Knitten things
In addition to the fact that these products require special caution when washing and the ironing process is associated with certain risks. In this case, the saparler also comes to the aid. The fact is that even special modes on ordinary irons do not guarantee you the complete preservation of natural fibers. One awkward movement or delay in the work can completely spoil your favorite sweater.
When using the pair, the product will not lose its attractive appearance, get rid of folds and irregularities and will remain whole. To do this, dry it after washing. To minimize the risk of reducing in size or pulling individual parts, it is better to do it on a vertical surface. Next hang the thing on the shoulders. It may be those that come complete with outdoor devices or a regular hanger. If you have a mode selection function on your sapar, then turn on the appropriate and start ironing.
Vertical sweeping
This function in saparisters of various types is convenient not only by the fact that there is no need to use the ironing board, but also for a number of moments. For example, it allows you to care for a hat from a felt, which cannot be froth and bend. He also indispensable if you want to disappear upholstered furniture. This is especially convenient if you use covers. Give them the initial species can be directly in place. That is, you put them on the furniture and start ironing. Young mothers fear that dangerous bacteria accumulate on the carpet and soft toys. It is possible to carry out a peculiar disinfection using a sapar. After all, the temperature of the steam is high enough to destroy most of the dangerous microorganisms.
Another wide scope of application is the smoothing of the curtain. At the same time, they can be made of various tissues (Capron, polyester, organza). It can be ironing them when the product is still wet or already dried.
Advice
In addition to the advantages of the advantages and methods of using an excavator, you can call some more cases When its use greatly simplifies the work on the house.
- Punked underwear. Manufacturers of clothing and other textiles are advised to produce ironing products only after their complete drying. But when the underwear is underwent (especially if the air conditioner was not used when washing) it is difficult to smooth out in the usual way. Then you have to re-wet or stroke it through a wet marry. The need for this disappears if you apply a steam ironing. The directional jet of wet hot air will do everything for you. In this case, you can not be afraid to damage the vulnerable tissue and fibers.
- Chances. Even when using aggressive high temperatures, it is very difficult to get rid of them. The best option here will be the use of the steam generator. Driving on fabric and hot steam, and its own weight, it copes perfectly with the challenge of ironing such difficult areas.
- Baby clothes. In addition to the fact that it is manufactured in most cases from natural materials, the ironing of which is associated with the risk of damage to the fiber, and additional difficulties are made tiny sizes. Even the smallest details, such as sleeves and ruffles, are easily disclosed.
- Natural flax and pure cotton, woolen products. Products from these fabrics are difficult to smooth, even if it is not persistent. Linen curtains, curtains and tablecloths often have serious chances after washing. But you can avoid additional difficulties, just hanging the curtains on the cornice (and putting the tablecloth on the table) and start smoothing the steamer.
Modern steamers provide a lot of advantages of hostesses. They save time and make possible care even behind very delicate materials. The method of their work is quite simple. Many scares the price and unusual designs themselves. But all doubts about the convenience of their use disappear after several sessions of ironing.
