Anyone use a steam press for ironing?

For work suit trousers I put them on trouser hangers to dry from the washing machine - upside down, crease to crease. Once they are dry I iron them the same way - off the hanger obviously, still with the creases in the right place and then do both sides, and I mostly just need to to do the legs.

Oh dear, I've decided a steam press is going to be the answer to all my mountainous laundry problems and I'm saving for one! How do you find it fares with other types of clothes?

I love mine sunday_girl, saves a lot of time. It takes a few goes to get used to though, but after 5 years there is no way I would go back to an iron. There is a whole thread on it somewhere on OS

Oh thank goodness! I've really got my hopes pinned on it, can't wait to get one but other expenses keep cropping up :mad:

They are really good for such as pillowcases and duvet covers. Anything yoiu can do flat like trousers and jeans.
The only problem I had with mine is the shaped work blouses as I always ended up wrinkling the fronts. I dare say it's patience.
But mine is slung in the spare bedroom as with 5 work blouses a week it got on my nerves.

Make sure you use the deionised water, else the lines will get clogged with calcium eventually.
