What is the pros and cons of traditional ironing vs steam ironing?
We have a regular clothes iron (it does have steam option), but it's a pain to get out the ironing board. I'm considering getting one of those steam irons where you hang your clothes on a hook and steam them with steam coming out a hose kind of like a vaccum appliance. I've seen them use them in retail stores, but do they really work as well as traditional ironing on a flat surface?
No.
I worked in a retail clothing store for 5 years, and have probably steamed hundreds of clothes. While they are great for lifting out wrinkles ~ that's ALL they do. With a steamer, you can't create a crease in shirts sleeves or slacks, you can't do a nice press on the collar, nor does the garment hang very nice when finished. Pressing with an iron gives a garment shape which a steamer can't do.
The positive is that it is a great way to get wrinkles out of suit jackets and winter coats.
Another negative, is that most steamers take about 10 minutes to warm up, and about 5-10 minutes to use. A traditional iron is much faster, especially if you do all your ironing on one day of the week.
Still another negative, is that to use the steamer properly, you have to place the nozzle inside the garment so the steam goes outward, facing you. We used to try other configurations, but this one seemed to work the best since it slightly stretched the garment, which is necessary to lift the wrinkles. The downside side however, is that the steam is facing in your direction, leaving you with limp hair and a sweaty face.
