To keep your clothes wrinkle free without ironing, you can buy a specialist steamer, either plug-in or portable for travel or you can use the steam button on your iron to create a jet of steam. If you are travelling and don't have access to a steamer or iron, you can fill a shut bathroom with steam from a hot shower and hang your outfit nearby to reduce any creases.
STEAMING IS GOOD FOR:
Long or complicated dresses that can re-crease on an ironing board.
Very delicate silk scarves, blouses or dresses.
Clothes such as suits or dresses that have been worn once and you intend to wear again, but don't need laundering.
Clothes that have been unpacked from a travel Bag or suitcase and are creased.
HOW TO USE YOUR STEAMER:
Try to make space to hang your garment freely and not get surrounding walls or cupboards wet.
Start from the bottom of the item and work upwards.
Be careful not to drip water onto the garment.
For more delicate fabrics, work slightly away from the fabric with the steamer nozzle.
For very delicate fabrics, turn the garment inside out.
