Is a garment steamer worth it?

Steaming is an effective way to get wrinkles out of almost any fabric, it requires less space to use a steamer (especially if you use a handheld steamer) and it takes less time and effort than ironing does. Plus, there are plenty of other benefits—even health related! —to steaming that you can’t get from using an iron.

Are clothes steamers better than irons?

Steamers are faster than irons. There’s no ironing board to set up, fabrics can be steamed in-situ, and clothes steamers often heat up faster than irons.
