Who's here because they bought a garment steamer, gave it a try then wondered if they're doing it right? Just me? Oh okay. Hahaha
That is me lol. Steamer was delivered 30 minutes ago, I steamed with mediocre results, then thought.. Hang on, maybe watch some youtube video lol.
Exactly what I'm doing here lol
You got me😂
Me🙋♀️and the almost 2 million people who watched this😊
Me
I bought a steamer thinking I would save time from traditional ironing. Not only do the clothes stay somewhat wrinkly, but I constantly burn myself, and it takes easily about 5 times longer than it would with an iron. What a terrible idea of mine and what a waste of my time and money. Back to the iron it is.
I find steaming to be much easier and quicker personally. Ironing for me ironically introduced many wrinkles and was quite aggravating. Perhaps you didn't find the right technique?
It looks very time consuming… I thought a Steamer is for a quick fix..
She made perfect sense and I am embarrassed I was spitting water all over my clothes and tap water at that. Thanks for teaching me how to stream my clothes at 37 LOL
it's never too late to learn something new :P
Me too I was like this is thing is not working 😅 , even wanted it to return it
@@sandramoreno559 It actually works better when you press up against it firmly and move back and forth while holding the fabric with your other hand
You don't have to use destilled water. And if it gets chalky years from now, just clean it with some household vinegar, it's super easy.
@@Sukkermis Thanks
Thanks for this, I bought a clothes steamer and had no idea how to use it, now it works great.
I was actually putting the steamer on the clothes🤦🏽♀️… you’re a life saver
Same to me dia
Me too
Same 😂 and I have been doing it for more than 2 years now 🤦♀️
Me too 😂😂😂 and putting it flat on the surface... lol!!! Oops!!!
this came in good time. I bought a steamer a year ago and never used it. I'm glad you said distilled water because I would have just used tap water. I have 2 curtain panels that I want to steam out the wrinkles. Great motivation.
Jennifer Ann Fox I just took my out of the box as well and I bought my over a year and half ago. I would have used tap water as well. So I agree that this is a great video and I'm getting ready to try it in a few minutes.
Maybe read the instructions or look at your kettle to see if it has limescale or your loo! it is hardly a tip!
Melissa, I love youj, respect you, and need you, but demonstration makes a good video. I don't have a garment steamer, I have never SEEN a garment steamer, and I have never seen anyone USE a garment steamer, either. We iron. For hours! Sometimes all day on Saturday! ALL DAY ! So it would help if you would actually show a few garments and how to steam them: a wool suit or winter wool slacks - what about the lining? a silk blouse? shirts and dresses that got wrinkly in the closet altho already ironed....silky nighties, linen shirts, etc. Not just talk about it. Please. I hate ironing, but love summer cottons. But how? Will the collars pull at the corners? How can you get the button placket to lie flat? etc.
The steamer I have says to use tap water only. Would I damage the steamer by using distilled water?
Hi Melissa, could you show me how to steam the the bottom and cuff, I always have a problem to steam the bottom id clothes, thx
Your instructions: simple and effective. Thank you.
Does it really work ... do u get the same results as iron ?????
Great tips. I've been steaming my clothes for years the wrong way. I never thought to use distilled water. I guess that explains why I need to keep buying steamers. Thanks for the great tips.
It says it in the instructions ....
I appreciate the tips on how to steam the right way. I didn’t know you don’t have to touch the garment with the steamer head to get no creases. Thank you.
The build up is just lime scale. Also called hard water. Not disgusting but not great for our machine if not regularly cleaned.
Thank you... I just got my first steamer and your video was not only helpful, but it was also enjoyable to watch. You're awesome. :)
Melissa, I have read some of the comments and they are dead wrong. I used my OXA which I have had in the box for a year and a half. I can't believe how easy it was to use. Thanks for the tutorial. I literally just used it on curtains I just made for my new apartment. It worked like a dream. Thanks alot. I gave thumbs up and will subscribe. Thanks a lot.
Any moron can steam ...especially straight bits of material! hardly rocket science !!
Sorry nothing about the power (wattage) use!
can you steam wool blankets from thrift store? is this enough to kill germs for relatively new looking items from the thrift?
Hi can I put scent in the water so it smells nice for clothes OR for around the home please
Can you please indicate which brand and model of steamer you are using. Thank you
Hello..just how many clothes u can iron?I it okay to iron like 5clothes
Can you please tell us what kind of steamer you use, and which one is best on the market ?
Thank you for sharing! I've always considered investing in a garment steamer, but I never knew what to look for. Are garment steamers that different from each other?
Cant see what shes doing. Can't see the before and after. Too much taking
My steamer has a crease attachment but I’ve not figured out how to use it.
It’s a Rowenta DR82 C-Cel Steam Force. Can you do a product review? I love the steamer itself, but I need to know how to use the crease attachment for pants.
How can you get the edges of a garment with the steam when you are holding it taut by the edge?
Burn your thumb like I did yesterday...which brought me to this useless video 😒 😂😂
First RUclipsr that straight called me ugly... im subbing
Quick question does anyone know if a steamer uses less electricity than an iron?
I think its good for t shirts and weekend wear, not sure about using for a important meeting or for sales people
The steaming result look is not "starchy."
What’s a good brand to get ? Going to buy one soon. For clothes and curtains and such
Do you keep the button held down while you’re steaming?
The one I have has both options. You can lock it for continuous steam.
This whole time I didn't realize you had to pull on the clothing, I was just pointing and getting mad they weren't disappearing 😁
Instead of putting a hook on the back of a door, would it work if I hung the clothes on a hanger hung on my shower rod?
what sort of room do you use it in? We live in a damp climate and mould is an issue here. Thanks for the tips - steaming extra on a specific area and using essential oils. That's great.
Thanks for says not all clothing can be streamed. I have been trying to steam my cotton and linen white shirts. Its not working. I thought having a steamer would eliminate me getting out the iron and board. So suppose its good for freshing some things up, but not good for jeans and linens.
I put the brush on mine and turn the steam up. Works a treat.
This video should be called - How to TALK about steaming your clothes...
exactly. I see a lot of talking and not a lot of steaming clothes
😂
can you steam your down jacket?
cuz i'm afraid i can't wash it
SERIOUSLY...
@@yukernzhen She is totally in love with herself, and just likes hearing her own voice.
Great video - Will a steamer restore fabric shape like an iron does?
The problem I have with my steamer is I cant get the wrinkles out the bottom of my t shirts because I can't hold it tight unless I want to melt my fingers off
I just wish in a few years from today we will look back at all the time humans wasted on ironing or steaming clothes and laugh, happily, with more time to spend on other things because technology made clothing unwrinklable.
LG Style Steamer... You're welcome.
It already exists. I have some dress shirt that never seem to have any wrinkle no matter how I store them.
@@NoReply28 Ok, but when will they invent linen garments and curtains that don't wrinkle???
My mini steamer says you can use tap water, would you advise against that?
She is just a youtuber not an expert! if you live in a hard water area don't use tap water!
Please tell us what steamer do you use
Thank you
never seen something less helpful in my life
Me either!
I have hard water and my steamer makes a clicking sound with no steam coming out so how would I be able to unclog it to get it to work???
I only used it once and it clogged up with calcium plz help
Thank you and what steamer would you recommend?
ohhhhhh distiller water!!! who would have thunk it??? 😅😅😅 my "little steamer" has been a trooper lol
@@lilyloveslife2737 whooooosh
@@lilyloveslife2737 You missed Jane Smith's humor, her ironic allusion to a famous 1920s-forward comedy malapropism.
@@lilyloveslife2737
I have never used distilled water. I have a few different steamers, which I use in a variety of ways, and tap water has never caused any issues! I find Joy Mangano's steamer to be useless, not matter what type of water is used.
@@lilyloveslife2737 it is a very common expression, used in a humorous way. How sad you lack a personality.
How do you steam the bottom of the shirt? I find that I burn my hands because am trying to hold it taught but the steam falls down near my hands
Thanks girl! I inherited one of these things and had no idea how to use it.
If i use regular tap water, will i get the same results minus the foggy white chalk in the water container?
Me i use the tap water its now 1yr but don't get any prob with mine
What steamer are you recommending?
I have the same steamer I think. Just bought it & it won’t steam. I either bought a defective one or don’t know what I’m doing 🤦♂️
does this clean germs and bacteria and bad smells from suit
And kill any moth eggs and/or microscopic larvae?
Why is your Steamer not touching the clothes? Mine is supposed to do that, either wird brush adapter or iron blade + steam of course
I made a mistake of using tap water at the start, what is the best way of cleaning the water container?
Use DV to clean. Same method as a coffee maker.
whats dv?
distilled vinegar
Distilled water is not needed. I have hard water, and it has never caused buildup or chalky residue in my steamer.
Can we use purified drinking water? Like bottled water?
My conair steamer simply does not get all the wrinkles out even if I hold the fabric taut. Nor does it save time as it is advertised to do. Better just to iron it or have it pressed. Maybe I am doing it wrong open to suggestions.
My current iron has a peeling teflon plate and a busted steam function. It just left a small stain on a blouse that I just made.
When searching for advice online about a new iron this video came recommended.
Could you use a steamer like this to remove wrinkles on a 100% cotton poplin blouse that has lots of gathering on the sleeves, and pintucks on the front?
I would still need to buy a new iron but it took me ages to iron the thing so perhaps steaming is quicker.
I would guess that steaming might blur pleats and creases (as in dress pants) meant to look sharp, but might be okay for gathering, whose gathers are stitch ordained; ditto pintucks.
Water from Brita filter is also ok?
Hold 6 inches away from your garment *holds 1.5” away from the garment* 😂
Seriously. Wtf
Maybe her partner told her that's 6' 😂
@@georgep7862 🤣🤣🤣
…it’s definitely 6”. Watch again. 6” isn’t that much space. 1” is practically touching. It’s just the angle so it looks close.
Mine should touch the clothes directly
Is it okay to use essential oil in steamer?? To make the clothes smell good..
Of course not! it would stain the clothes!
Hi , I am in doubt to buy iron or steamer. can sb tell me his/her experience and introduce me a good brand?
I just got one from someone and got 7 pieces of clothing done, then realized the plug was overheating! It was so hot the plastic was melting on the plug! Why is this?
can i use boiled tap water?
Wow I was doing practically every step wrong!!😂😂😂😂 VERY helpful video!! Thank you! 🎉
Does the steam clean the garment as well
Right on thanks Merry Christmas
Thank u so much for a easy way how to do this
can you steam (organic) cotton, tencel/lyocell, cupro, and modal?
Can you let tap water sit for over 24 hours then add it to the steamer or does it HAVE to be distilled water?
I think it takes practice to know about to do the steaming, I still can’t, I’m still my iron and my iron board
I have terrible water where I live and it ruins my clothes. Could I use this and skip washing all together?
It could work with pants and jeans, I guess.
What happens if you touch the steamer with the clothes
What brand/model steamer is that?
I believe it is the Beautural Handheld Garment Steamer. It's just like mine only white instead of blue.
thank you for this videeooo ! it seems super easy and i still feel im kinda doing it wrong. i may need to get a better one. idk!
I bought a steamer a couple years ago, thinking it would be easier than ironing. I found it took much longer and was less effective than ironing. And 6 inches away? The steam rises into the air by then. Steamer heads are made smooth so they can touch the fabric. For delicate fabrics you can hold it maybe 1 inch away. This is advised in several other videos on this topic.
It’s for cotton, spandex and other materials not meant for ironing
@@hcrystalhit is indeed in many cases, for normal clothes cause it’s more gentle than ironing
Exactly, so confused why it’s not touching the clothes, except for very sensitive material
My Conair steamer is leaking water out the bottom onto the floor. What is the problem?
Stop using it; that hyper hot water could burn you. Report model number to Conair, who might issue you a refund or replace with a safer model.
Wonder what brand do U use?
Can u make a video about cleaning the steamer?? I wasn't using distilled water and it has that buildup u mentioned on this video. Thx
Do you rather a hand held steamer or a iron and ironing board?
mrscandicemarie I use a steamer when I'm on the go e.g. staying in a budget hotel that doesn't have an ironing board and iron in the room. Steaming is faster but results aren't as good.
Question. Can steamer used by pouring vinegar instead of water for using on clothes which has mold smell?? My valuable clothing got damaged. Some are brand new and do not want to wash in washing machine. (Vinegar & baking soda)
If you have better solutions please let me know. Also some of my outer jacket (include leather) has mold on, how to clean them???
k jakamura I wouldn't dare use vinegar. The smell alone might be hard to get rid of.
dunbar dunelm thank you. 😅
Does steaming directly on the fabric damage the fabric?
I have the same question too
appreciate the humour.. thanks for this !
I need help y'all. After drying my dress, I noticed that there are soo many little circles that came out from my dress, and i guess they are air circles that got formed on it. I need help😢
Melissa Maker will it steam jeans? What is name and make of steamer?
I volunteer for a charity and we get tonnes of donations every week, we don't have time for a washing machine or dry cleaners so the clothes are steamed. Unfortunately some are a bit funky, could a drop of an essential oil be added or too risky?
Add white vinegar to your water! It works very well! The stronger smells will need another go round but it works!
Now I need a steamer ASAP!!!
Yes - they are amazing!!!!
I thought this was a video made by a brand at first. You're amazing!
What's the steamer you're using? Or can I get a list of recommended steamers? Thanks.

Where did you get your steamer from I love that it isn't huge or bulky!!! 💕Can you share the link please? 😉
The Blake Family From Tennessee! Thank you, I appreciate it.
Yaneth Villegas that's the one I use and it is great! :)
Oh.... cause I'm using it and it's like an arm workout lol....
Which hand steamer is best
Can you use this to clean ur clothes
👎 As a seller of such products, I recommend touching and pressing the fabric with the steam plate for best results. One difference between a traditional iron and a clothes steamer is that the steamer is SAFE for garments/fabrics. Never keep such a distance between the steam plate and the fabric. Otherwise, you will say it doesn't work.
Who was hilding your garment hanger? I swear I noticed an arm. Thanks for sharing.
Mine is on but dont want to let steam go
can you use it on wool ?
distilled water is also used for topping up a car battery and maybe cheaper at a car spares place.
Investing that amount of time + distilled water + fabric refresher . I would prefer outsourcing my laundry 🤣🤣
Distilled water is just a dollar a gallon.
Clothes steamer is difficult in use. My shirts are still wrinkled.
Which steamer is that?
Hmm was hoping to actually see more than a few seconds usage. Everything you said comes in the user manuals. Demonstration is better than repeating the manual.
