I purchased this steamer for the dust ruffles that I have under two queen mattresses. The mattresses were far too heavy to lift off and iron them, so I steamed them instead. The steamer worked very well. All I had to do was hold the fabric taught and run the steamer over it. I learned that it was much easier to do with a second person, however. We each held the fabric tight at both ends, about 1 foot apart, and then I ran the steamer down from the top of the dust ruffle to the bottom, from end to end. The brush attachment worked especially well, since they were many wrinkles. The end result was a very smooth dust ruffle, just what we wanted.
