IRONS & GARMENT STEAMER

Iron

Irons are handy small home appliances that will help smooth out your garments and other fabrics. There are hundreds of different brands of irons used for many purposes such as laundry, travel, garment steaming and quilting in the market today. 

How to choose the right iron box?

Steam output: Look for an iron with a high steam output, as this will make ironing easier and more efficient.

Soleplate material: The soleplate is the flat surface of the iron that comes into contact with your clothes. Consider choosing an iron with a non-stick soleplate or a ceramic soleplate, as these are less likely to stick to your clothes and cause damage.

Temperature control: Make sure the iron has adjustable temperature settings so you can use it on different types of fabrics without causing damage.

Water tank capacity: If you do a lot of ironing, choose an iron with a larger water tank capacity, as this will allow you to iron for longer periods of time without needing to refill the water.

Weight: Consider the weight of the iron, as a heavier iron may be more difficult to maneuver and may cause arm fatigue during prolonged use.

Cord length: Make sure the iron has a long enough cord to reach your ironing board without having to use an extension cord.

Auto shut-off: Consider choosing an iron with an auto shut-off feature, which will turn the iron off automatically if it is left unattended for a certain amount of time.

Brand and warranty: Choose a reputable brand like Philips Iron Box with a good warranty, as this will ensure that you are getting a quality product that will last a long time.

Steam Iron

Pressing iron with a compartment holding water that is converted to steam by the iron's heat and emitted through the soleplate. Steam opens a fabric's weave so that deep creases can be ironed out easily. Steam iron is very light in weight.

Dry Iron

A traditional iron that does not produce steam and requires water to be sprinkled onto the garment. Dry iron is easy to use. Some fabrics, such as silk, only work well with a dry iron. Better pressing ability due to its heavier weight.

Garment Iron

One of the most important features of a garment iron is its soleplate. The soleplate is the flat surface that comes into contact with your clothes, and different materials can affect the way the iron glides over the fabric. Some irons come with a ceramic soleplate, which is great for even heat distribution and easy gliding. Others have a stainless steel or titanium soleplate, which can provide better durability and resistance to scratches. Lastly, the safety features of a garment iron can be crucial for preventing accidents.
