Steaming your bedding with a clothes steamer: here's how to do it.

Why Steam Bedding Instead of Ironing?

A clothes steamer is perfect for removing light wrinkles, especially when your bed is already made. The advantage of a steamer is that it elevators the fibers of the textile instead of flattening them, as an iron does. This keeps your bedding quality longer. In addition, the hot steam kills all the bacteria and dust mites in the fabric.

Use a handheld steamer or a Vertical Clothes Dryer

Both hand steamers, Midi steamers, and Professional steamers are suitable for steaming bedding.

  3. Once the steamer is ready, press the steam button and let it release steam for a few seconds. Keep the steamer away from the fabric for the first few seconds to avoid water droplets.
  4. Start steaming: Press the steamer with the steam head against the bedding while releasing steam. Make slow, ironing movements to remove wrinkles.

Why steaming is better for your bedding

Ironing can flatten the fibers of fabrics, which creates a less natural look and can cause the fibers to wear out faster. Dry cleaning, on the other hand , elevators the fibers, which preserves the natural shape of textiles. This makes your bedding last longer, colors are better preserved and your bed always looks fresh. Moreover, steaming is a durable and easy way to maintain your bedding.

Steaming is not only a quick way to give your bed a fresh look, it also helps kill dust mites and bacteria. House dust mites thrive in beds and feed on dander, which you lose every night. With the STEAMRS clothes steamers you can easily clean bedding without having to wash it at high temperatures, which is especially useful if you don't want your bedding to shrink or get damaged in the wash.
