Standing steam irons, though priced much higher than other iron types, remain popular and widely chosen. Ironing clothes is no longer a burden for women, and it has even become a simple task for gentlemen.
1. Why are standing irons the 'number one' choice?
Standing irons flatten clothes using steam pressure, and the powerful water spray eliminates wrinkles without the need for re-ironing. Clothes can be easily ironed by hanging them, saving time. Standing irons, designed to be tall, can quickly iron evening gowns or long dresses, 2-5 times faster than conventional irons.
2. Suitable for All Fabrics
Standing irons are safe for all fabrics, including lace, silk, chiffon, or outfits with sequins or bows. The steam ensures the safety of expensive or intricately designed outfits, preventing discoloration, fuzz, or burning. Creases on clothes are easily ironed out with the clip tool provided (some standing irons may not include this tool).
3. Energy-Efficient and Safe
Standing irons only require ironing one side of the garment, automatically flattening the other side without the need for a second ironing. This energy-efficient design saves electricity. The iron also stops steam when water is depleted, reducing the risk of burning clothes. It features automatic shutdown in case of unstable voltage, an empty water tank, or extended ironing, minimizing the risk of burns and accidents. Standing irons are less likely to cause burns and are safer for children.
4. Easy Maintenance
Standing steam irons, though more substantial and detailed than regular irons, require a bit more time for cleaning, but it's quite straightforward. Simply empty the water reservoir to prevent sediment buildup and use a soft cloth to wipe the machine clean. The ironing board is equipped with wheels for easy mobility and can be disassembled and neatly packed in a box for portability. If used frequently, it's advisable to clean the ironing board once a month. However, if infrequently used, cleaning it every 2 to 3 months should be sufficient.
