What is a "garment steamer"?
A garment steamer is a device used to remove wrinkles from clothes and fabrics using steam. It works by heating water to produce steam, which is then released through a nozzle onto the fabric. The steam helps relax the fibers, making it easier to smooth out wrinkles without the need for an iron. Garment steamers are lightweight and portable, making them convenient for quickly refreshing clothes, especially delicate fabrics that may be damaged by an iron. They are commonly used in homes, hotels, and by professionals to keep clothes looking neat and wrinkle-free.
Examples
I used a garment steamer to remove the wrinkles from my dress before the party.
