Steam iron saves time and does excellent handling of ironing

Almost all modern irons are equipped with a function of steam ironing. In the sole of the iron there are small holes through which moist warm air is fed. This function allows you to iron a wide variety of fabrics faster and better. The steam iron can easily smooth out both the dense denim fabric and the finest chiffon. All that is needed is to select the correct mode to avoid damaging the fabric.

The effectiveness of the stripping depends on the number of holes for steam supply and their location. To ensure good quality and speed of ironing, enough 50-60 holes (the best and most effective models have more than 140), which are located on the entire surface. Some of them should be grouped on a spout to facilitate smoothing in hard-to-reach places. The rest is scattered all over the sole of the iron.

It should be noted that the more holes for steam supply, the more power a steam iron has. For example, TOS 8330 produced by BOSH has a capacity of 2400 watts and 143 holes for steam. This is by far the highest figure.

In addition to the power of the iron, you should pay attention to the water tank. The more liquid can be "refilled" in a steam iron, the longer it will not require refueling. The effectiveness of ironing depends on the intensity of the steam. This indicator is measured in grams per minute, it directly depends on the power. Irons of the latest models have steam intensity regulators, which can have a different appearance: a switch, a wheel, etc. For ironing bed linen will be quite small intensity of 25-30 g / minute, for the cover will need 50-60 g / min.

Such iron functions are useful:

• Steam impact - forced steam flow for smoothing the most stubborn creases (available in Braun FreeStyle 6595 iron, TB24301 Siemens);
• Vertical steaming - allows you to put things in order on the hangers using a vertically directed jet of steam;
• Spraying - after pressing this button, thin streams of water fly out of the iron, with which you can moisten the dry clothes;
• Anti-drip system - if the iron is not heated enough, the water does not have time to transform into steam and can simply pour through the holes, this system prevents this phenomenon.

Not so long ago, vertical steam irons appeared. These devices radically differ in appearance from the traditional ones. Steam iron vertical is a high power steam station with a water tank to which a flexible hose is connected, ending with a nozzle. A powerful high-temperature steam stream is fed through the hose to the nozzle. Such a system allows you to quickly give things a perfect look. A powerful jet of steam spreads without hindrance the most complex tissues: dense and thin, with a pile and without. But this iron is many times more expensive.

For the modern fast pace of life, it is simply necessary to have on the household devices that allow you to do household chores much faster. In order to iron faster and better, a steam iron is needed. The responses of happy owners allow us to speak about the high efficiency of such devices. They help to significantly reduce the time, which is necessary for ironing clothes.
