Is ironing or steaming better for clothes?

There's nothing quite like a well-pressed shirt or dress. It can make you look pulled together and professional, even if the rest of your outfit is simple. But getting that crisp, tailored look isn't always easy. You have to choose the right tool for the job, and that means understanding the difference between an iron and a garment steamer.

Ironing is the more traditional option, and it's great for certain fabrics. But it can be tricky to get the hang of, and it's not always ideal for delicate fabrics. A garment steamer, on the other hand, is much easier to use and gentler on fabric. So which one is right for you?

Let's start with irons. They're great for getting rid of wrinkles in sturdy fabrics like denim or linen. The key is to find the right setting for your fabric—too much heat can damage delicate fabrics like silk or wool. If you're not sure what setting to use, err on the side of caution and go with a lower heat setting. Once you've got the hang of it, ironing can give you a nice, sharp look.

Garment steamers are also good for eliminating wrinkles, but they're especially useful for items that are difficult to iron, like pleated skirts or dresses with beading. They're also great for knitwear, as they won't cause stretching or damage delicate fibres the way an iron can. And since they don't require any contact with the fabric, they're much gentler than irons. Just hold the steamer wand about six inches away from the garment and let the steam do its work.

So which should you choose: an iron or a garment steamer? If you're looking for a sharp, tailored look, go with an iron. But if you want something that's quick and easy to use—and gentle on your clothes—a garment steamer is the way to go.
