Welcome back. Today, we're going to be talking about how to use a steamer to
iron clothes. We're going to show you how.
Alright. So, I have actually never done this. I've never used the steamer. -Okay,
Eugenia tells me... Well that's pretty straightforward. But for me it's like, "But
I've never done it." I would want to see it demonstrated. -Okay. -So, this we've got a
steamer here and we just turn on the button. -This is a stand-up steamer. There
are a couple different steamers out there. There's a stand-up kind which is
what we have right here. And there's also the portable ones which I also have a
little guy that I take traveling and they're very nice and good and that's
affordable to get. You can even just get them sometimes in those little kiosks at
the mall or they're all over the internet. -What would it what would it look like
compared to... -Mine, actually looks like a little iron, right? And so, just pretend
this is the iron and it's about this big and you just kind of go like this with the steam. -So
how's it... -it does have a cord, yes. If I'm not mistaken. I haven't used
it in a while because I usually either... I either use the iron on the hotel
rooms or yeah the iron or I don't take things that wrinkled very much. -So here's
a question then. -I'm a very good Packer. -What's the advantage of a steamer versus
an iron? -The iron creases better. If you want a better job crisp crease
then you use the iron. But I know that a lot of people think that the ironing
board and the iron are enemies. So, this is better than nothing and this is super
super fast. It is quicker. And you know what? It's sitting there, you don't have
to get out the ironing board plug in the iron... So... -This shirt has
like a little... -It's already steaming. So... Excuse me, Nate. We're going to go around
here. And it's really, really, easy. One thing I don't recommend. Believe it...
Believe it or not, people actually do this. They are wearing the items and then
they steam it on themselves. That's a big no-no. It will burn you and I've had
people come say that. I'm like, "What?" So, yeah. Hang the item here. Grab it
with one hand. So, pull it. Or you can just do this. But I like to hold it and just
go up and down like so. I mean, I can already feel the steam. It's kind of hot.
So, you might want to move accordingly. But if you go up and down, you can
already start seeing the wrinkles here disappearing. And you just move. We
just go all the way. -That's simple enough. -...down. Simple enough. But it will not be as
crisp as an iron. But for a quick result, this is... This is great.
In fact, department stores and clothing stores, this is exactly what they have.
They use this steamer. So... -Nice. Alright. Well, there you have it. This is how you
use a steamer to iron your clothes. Technically, its steam your clothes. Steam
your clothes. After you finish that episode, I had some more questions. We
thought, you know what? There's some more info that we should put in this video. So
on one of the trips that I went on, I took a blazer and the sleeve of it got
wrinkled. And I tried to figure out how to iron it in the hotel room but I
didn't want to put a crease in it so I couldn't really figure out what to do. -So
so a couple of things you need to be careful of is you never want to put the
iron directly... Direct with the material just in case. Depending on, I call it, "The
ingredients." Depending on what the material is made of. So read the tag. But
just to be safe, put a towel over. A thin towel and then iron. Or you know, adjust
the settings according to it but be careful. And a lot of people don't want
to haul around a steamer with them even the little portable ones or they forget.
So an iron... -It sounds like in that case, a steamer would have been pretty,
better or easier choice. -Either one. I mean, it's really fine. You still have
to put water in the steamer. It may be a little bit easier,
yes. But it's really not that big of a deal. Come on. You should always have
your clothes pressed. You don't want to look like that...
This looks great. You don't want to look like you just walked out of... Rolled out of
bed. Use your steamer or invest in one. -Make
