8 things you should clean with a steam iron

Few people realize the true potential of modern technology. There are at least 8 things to clean with a steam iron. Steam perfectly disinfects, eliminates odors, refreshes and smoothes creases on delicate materials. To use such a multifunctional device for ironing clothes alone would be unforgivable.

Cleaning pillows

Most pillows are forbidden to be washed in a washing machine and especially not ironed. At the same time, they absorb all the dust and dirt. Typically, pillows are changed every 2–4 years or dry cleaned. But if you have a steam iron, this is optional. Fill the tank with water and slide the iron over the pillow using the steam boost function. Work it on both sides - the product will become clean again.

Fact No. 1.

When using the steam boost function, water enters the evaporator and, thanks to the high pressure, particles of hot water (steam) rush out. The Rowenta Pro Master Steam Iron emits 200 grams of steam in one stroke.

Upholstery upholstery update

No matter how you try to protect the sofa, its surface becomes dirty over time. The children will spill something, the dog will stain it with dirty paws. It is good if the cover can be removed and washed. If not, a steam iron will do the job well. It removes odors and softens stubborn stains. It remains only to wipe them with a cloth soaked in a solution of table vinegar (1: 2 with water).

Carpet Cleaning

The steam iron is great for cleaning bedside, door, and bath mats. They are more susceptible to pollution than other things in the house and need regular disinfection. No chemical can handle the neutralization of germs and molds as well as steam.

To process the mats with steam, you must hold the iron vertically directly above the surface of the product.

Fact No. 2.

Steam penetrates to a depth of 15–20 cm and helps to clean and smooth bulk things.

Steaming the bed

Perhaps everyone likes to go to bed in a clean, freshly ironed bed. With a steam iron you can afford this luxury more often. Bed linen can be ironed directly on the bed. The steam will refresh and disinfect the sheet, pillowcases, duvet cover, blanket and even a mattress. You can do without washing, for example, if a dog or another pet living in the house has sat down on the bed.

By the way, a steam iron can handle pet beds too. Steam will kill germs, fleas, ticks and other creatures that remain on the fabric along with the hair.

Fact No. 3.

The function of steam in an iron is a very relevant thing for people suffering from allergies. Often an allergic reaction is provoked by dust mites. Steam destroys microscopic pests and other allergens in seconds.

Toy disinfection

A lot of bacteria accumulate on children's toys, dust settles. Very soon it becomes unsafe to play with them, especially when you consider that young children are all pulled in their mouths. It is recommended that children wash and rinse with boiling water regularly. But there is a way to postpone the general cleaning. A few steam strokes over a soft bear will relieve it of germs and make it safe for games.

Steam ironing may damage the product. First of all, you should not use it for cleaning electrical appliances and soft plastic products.

Use of steam iron for curtains

Brand new curtains that you just got out of the package are usually hard to the touch and have an unsightly appearance. Steaming allows you to soften the matter. A few steam strokes - and the fabric acquires the necessary softness and forms beautiful folds, pleasing to the eye.

A steam iron can also be used to kill bacteria. On the curtains they settle in large quantities due to the dirt falling from the street when ventilating the room.

Preparing for the reception of guests

Most housewives for special occasions have a beautiful tablecloth, towels and fabric napkins for table setting. They safely lie in the closet and wait in the wings. But when you get them, they often have an unpresentable appearance. No matter how you clean the tablecloth or iron it, folds and creases form on the shelf after storage. Or maybe a musty aroma will appear.

Use a steam iron to tidy up your holiday supplies. He quickly copes with the task thanks to powerful steam strokes. In just 15 minutes you will be able to receive guests!

Fact No. 4.

When steaming things in the house, you will not only make it neater and cleaner, but also humidify the air. After cleaning the room, it will become much easier to breathe.

Steaming allows you to put on your outfit again

If you forgot to wash clothes that need to be put on urgently, refresh them with a steam iron. Steam penetrating into the deep layers of the fabric will eliminate all unpleasant odors and make the outfit look fresh. Thus, between things you can refresh any things: dresses, shirts, pants, jeans, t-shirts, sweaters, turtlenecks. Especially a little trick will come in handy for beautiful evening dresses that cannot be washed too often.

As you can see, a steam iron is a true friend of not only clothes, but also other things in the house. Using it in everyday life, you quickly eliminate odors from carpets and upholstered furniture. The device will help to disinfect the bed after a dog has lain on it, to deeply clean soft toys and pillows. And most importantly, you do not have to resort to chemistry.
