A vertical clothes steamer is a freestanding appliance that allows you to effortlessly treat entire baskets of clothes by de-cluttering and freshening them. Ideal for longer sessions, these steamers can be used for more than an hour at a time. With the higher power and larger water tank of these units, you can quickly and efficiently treat many garments in a row. The lightweight steam hose makes it comfortable and easy to steam your clothes without any effort. Check out our vertical clothes steamers here.

Just very briefly: You fill the water reservoir with tap or distilled water and allow the unit to heat up. Then you press the steam button on the handheld steamer (you don't have to do this with the vertical steamers) and place the steam head against the garment. With your free hand, pull the garment tight. Iron over the fabric with the steam head and the hot steam will remove all wrinkles and unpleasant odors!

1. Clothes steamers replace irons for 100%
   While clothes steamers are great for removing creases and freshening up clothes, they cannot create tight folds in formal garments like an iron can. Steaming is a perfect alternative for quick touch-ups and for those who hate ironing.
2. Steaming removes all stains
   Clothes steamers are effective at refreshing clothes, but they are not designed to remove deep stains. Stubborn stains often need additional treatment.
3. Steaming replaces washing
   Although steaming can remove odors and light stains, it does not replace the deeper cleaning that clothes need after multiple wears. Use a steamer to remove light odors.
4. Dry cleaning is the same as dry cleaning
   Dry cleaners offer deeper cleaning and remove stubborn stains using chemicals. A clothes steamer is designed to de-clutter and freshen clothes, not to remove stubborn, deep stains.
