The heat from the steam produced by the clothes steamer removes wrinkles from textiles by soaking and swelling the textile fibres. Unlike an iron, this ensures that the fabric is uncreased without being flattened or damaged. Keep in mind that the hot steam may leave small damp spots on the garment. We recommend letting the garment dry briefly before putting it on or storing it. However, if your clothes steamer leaks water, this is not your intention. While a few damp spots or drips are acceptable, the steamer should not leak. In this case, contact our customer service for assistance.
