Use the clothes steamer in an upright position to avoid spills or accidents. The clothing in question should be on a hanger and hung on a hook or over the back of a door. This way you have both hands free for moving around the fabric and the clothes steamer.

To get good results, do not push down on the clothing. You should only touch the clothing lightly with the steam head when you are steaming. Some clothes like silk are better steamed from the underside. Other fabrics, like velvet, should never be touched with the steam head. See the directions that came with your clothes steamer.
