Steam generator iron, garment steamer or spray: which should you choose for creased clothes?
A shirt that needs a crisp finish, a creased dress before you go out, or a T-shirt just unpacked from your suitcase. Each situation calls for a different solution. Understanding how each option works will help you choose according to the fabric, the time you have and the finish you want.
Steam generator iron: for a smooth, crisp finish
A steam generator iron combines steam with the heat and pressure of the soleplate on a garment laid on an ironing board. This combination helps tackle stubborn creases and shape areas such as collars, cuffs and trouser creases.
It is a good option when you have a large pile of ironing or want a neat finish on shirts, sheets and cotton or linen garments. Always follow the care label.
Garment steamer: for touching up hanging clothes
A garment steamer applies steam to clothes while they are hanging. It is handy for touching up dresses, blouses and garments that are difficult to arrange on an ironing board, provided they are suitable for steaming.
Results depend on the appliance, the fabric and how deeply creased the garment is. A steamer can improve its appearance, although pronounced creases usually need the contact and pressure of an iron.
Planchado Fácil by Agerul: a helping hand for everyday touch-ups
When you need to smooth out light creases without setting up an appliance, a spray can help. Planchado Fácil Dalia by Agerul is applied directly to clothes and spread by gently smoothing the fabric with your hands. It can also be used before conventional ironing.
It is a practical option for touch-ups before going out or for clothes creased in a suitcase. The finish will depend on the fabric and how pronounced the creases are.
How to use it
- Shake the bottle before use.
- Spray evenly from about 20 cm away onto a dry or slightly damp garment.
- Smooth the fabric with your hands, gently stretching it.
- For a crisper finish, you can iron afterwards.
To make application easier, lay the garment on a flat surface or hang it on a hanger. Test on a small area first with delicate fabrics or strong colours, and follow the garment’s care instructions.
