1. Tips for Choosing and Using the Best Standing Steam Iron
Standing steam irons are becoming increasingly familiar to Vietnamese consumers. Refer to the following article to learn how to choose and use a steam iron correctly, safely, and enhance its durability!
Choosing the Best Standing Steam Iron for Your Family
+ Standing steam irons are widely available in electronic stores and shops. Some popular brands for standing steam irons include Philips, Kangaroo, Homedics...
+ Since various brands produce these products, there are different price ranges. It's essential to compare prices before purchasing to find the most suitable steam iron for your family.
+ The capacity of the water tank determines the ironing time. Standing irons generally have three basic tank sizes: small tanks with a capacity of 0.5 liters, medium tanks with a capacity of 1.5 liters, and large tanks with a capacity of 2 liters or more. For household use, it's best to choose a small or medium-sized tank as there is usually not a large quantity of clothing in the household.
+ Standing irons are designed for convenience during use. It's advisable to choose an iron with 2 switches, one on the machine and one on the handle, making it easy to turn the iron on and off.
+ Choosing an iron with a clip for cups will help you iron cups as well as create pleats for clothes more quickly.
+ Avoid selecting irons with additional functions such as drying, dust suction, or an additional iron, as these features can reduce the durability and efficiency of the standing steam iron.
Proper, Safe, and Durable Use of Steam Irons
+ Use pure or boiled water to cool into the container in a sufficient amount. Avoid using water with chemicals such as soap or fabric softener, as it can cause sedimentation, blockages in the ducts, and may result in circuit malfunctions inside the steam iron.
+ Standing steam irons straighten clothes with a strong steam flow, requiring ironing only one side of the garment without the need to iron the other side, saving energy for the household.
+ Fill the container with enough water, and avoid leaving the container empty for too long, as it can cause the parts of the iron to become excessively hot, posing a danger to the user.
Position the Iron Head Upwards to Avoid Water Stagnation and Steam Blockage
+ When ironing, keep the iron head facing upwards, and gently tap the iron head to prevent water stagnation and avoid blockages inside.
+ Avoid letting the steam hose become tangled or folded, as it can impede steam escape from the iron.
+ After ironing, hang the clothes up. For thick fabric materials, residual steam may be present, so hang them up immediately after ironing to dry the clothes before wearing.
Buying a good standing steam iron is not enough; you need to use it correctly to enhance its lifespan, ensure safety, and bring convenience to your family!
