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.
The steam not only removes wrinkles, it freshens the fabrics - making them look cleaner. You can use this steamer on clothing, bedding and table linens and also to remove.
If you have the Home Pro Professional Garment Steamer PS-300 from Homedics, the Homedics website has the manual on their support page. Go to http://www.homedics.com.ph/instructionbooks/ .
then use the drop down menu to select the PS-300. Click on Download to get the instruction book. Note: the file is a PDF, so you will need Adobe Reader or a similar program to read the manual.
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.)
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.
Hang the garment, and slip the padded square over one hand.
Place the hand with the square on the underside of the garment, and use it to keep the fabric smooth while you steam it.
Use the steamer by holding the nozzle close to the garment, and pulling both it and the padded square in downwards strokes.
If the steamer starts making a "gurgling" noise, like its running out of steam, hold the hose straight up for several seconds. It says to do this in the manual and gets the steam flowing again--works great!
