I have a Shift Portable Wrinkle-free Steamer for fabrics. I am missing the little blue cap at the top of the water reservoir. Can I order one?

I have a hand steamer and use it every time I wear a garment that's a wrinkle-magnet. Usually it does the trick but I may have to steam it for five to ten minutes. Floor steamers that are often used in department stores have a larger capacity water tank and tend to be the most effective. But they also cost a lot more than a hand-held steamer.

Check the manual. You can always using some duct tape to cap the filling hole and see if it turns on.

Please let me know the make and model of the iron. We have a Delonghi Pro300 and I fashioned an opener out of a 2 inch pvc t that I purchased at Lowes. It allows my wife to open the steam reservoir with no problem.

Customer Reviews: Conair Extreme Steam Fabric Steamer ...

Are you setting the body of the steamer on a table? If part of the hose sits lower than the steamer body steam will condense in the hose and collect in the low spot. Steam pressure will push the water out through the nozzle. If your steamer starts to sputter lift the hose so that it is completely above the level of the water reservoir and let the water drain down. Its a good idea to keep the steamer body on the floor so the hose can never get lower than it.

1. Plug in the steamer.
   • The steamer usually comes with a smallish padded square with a strap that slips over your hand. (If you so not have one of these, cut out a square from some stiff cardboard, pad it using cotton batting, and cover it with a heavy, smooth, waterproof or water-resistant material.)
2. Make sure it is steaming nicely before you use it. You check by pulling the little trigger on the handle, and seeing how much steam issues when you release it. You actually want to use this while steaming as well, in order to release more steam when needed.
3. Hang the garment, and slip the padded square over one hand.
4. Place the hand with the square on the underside of the garment, and use it to keep the fabric smooth while you steam it.
5. Use the steamer by holding the nozzle close to the garment, and pulling both it and the padded square in downwards strokes.

design flaw: got it as a gift, and it leaked water. got a replacement, and it leaked water from the exact same spot. My guess would be that the water leaked into the wiring and shorted out. I still have mine, but empty it after each use.

It was very easy to fix the problem. We just substituted a wine cork for the plastic top and it works great. It did not take a brain surgeon or a group of people to help us. Just good ole American ingenuity.

I'm willing to try this to clean the mold out of the steamer container and possibly the rest of the attachments:
1. Empty the water reservoir completely. 2. Place 20 mL of CLR or bleach into the reservoir. 3. Fill the reservoir with hot water. 4. Shake the reservoir to mix and let stand for about 1 hour. 5. Empty the reservoir completely. 6. Rinse the reservoir 3 or 4 times with cold water. 7. Fill the reservoir with distilled water. 8. Run the steamer into the ventilated air a couple of times to ensure that there is no CLR or bleach residue on the evaporation elements. Thus, there will be no bleach on your cloths.
I have the same problem and will try this out tomorrow. I will tell you how it turns out.

The green light indicates the unit thinks it is out of water. Take of rewervoir; make sure the inlets are not plugged. Open the little plug on side, clean tank w/ clear water only, and shake out all water completely. Put it all back together, but leave reservoir off. Turn on and run unit "dry". Your should hear a "flutter" sound as the unit trys to pump water from missing reservoir, the heater/steamer should be sizzling hot & pressurizing. THEN the green light if ome ON, asking you to switch it off, refill & install the water reservoir. If things don't happen in that sequence, you should be able to determine what is wrong.
