Using a Steamer when Ironing

Video Transcript

"Today we've been talking all about ironing and now one more thing I want to leave you with is my favorite subject of steam. You know I'm all about the steam. This, is a professional steamer, you see that? What it is is a Jiffy Steamer. You can get steamers anywhere, they range anywhere in price, from like twenty-five to three-hundred dollars. This is actually a professional one. Creates a lot of steam. All I had to do, was put water in the receptacle and turn it on and look at this steam, it's great. What I'm going to do, is just take the steamer and go right down, how simple is that? Right down the shirt, look it how quickly it gets out those lines. Look at that. Now, sometime, I do this against a flat wall, so it's a flat surface or you can use the edge, itself, like that, to make a flat line. Look at how quickly those lines come out. Remember, it's very hot, so keep the steam away from your face and your fingers. Sometimes I put this up against a flat surface or I use the edge, here, to make a flat surface. Great steam going. It's really simple. Just quick going down. Quick, quick. It's really good for things like evening dresses and things you want to hang. For this shirt though, what I want to do is in the end, I'm going to take it off, hang that back up and I'm still going to get the puckering out, by ironing the cuffs and collars. I also wanted to show you this version. This is a travel version of this steamer. It's, of course, not as powerful. It's really light weight, easy to pack, it doesn't take up much room at all. It'll help you get those wrinkles out because you know, every time you pack, you get wrinkles. This is a good little friend to have on the road with you. Just wanted to give you an example, along with ironing, which is my favorite, steam is also my friend."
