There are 2 types of clothing steamers. A hand steamer is compact in size and can easily be taken on holiday for example. For steaming more garments or jackets, a clothes steamer with a standard is recommended. A clothes steamer is not a substitute for the iron, for stubborn creases you still need an ironing board. But if you want to change clothes regularly or only want to remove light wrinkles, then a clothes steamer is something for you.
