You can have professional steam cleaning in your home buy buying a Tobi Steamer. These wrinkle removing units save money and time because they are easy to operate and you don't have to take your clothes to the dry cleaners any more. The Tobi steamer is also one of the more popular of the many types of irons and fabric steamers that are currently out there on the market.

Tobi steamers operate by heating water to a boiling and then vented steam directly onto the wrinkled material. The heat and the moisture from the Tobi steam cleaner can easily get the deep creases and wrinkles out of a variety of materials and fabrics.

Tobi steamers are safe to use on any type of fabric whereas traditional fabric irons are not. Traditonal irons can burn or scorch fabric and vent steam when it is not an opportune time. This can result in staining of the fabric.

However not all fabrics can be cleaned by a Tobi steamer. Make sure to check the cleaning instructions located on the clothing tag. These garment labels will usually have washing, drying, and other cleaning instructions. However very fewer clothing items are too delicate to be cleaned by fabric steamers like the Tobi steamer and the Tobi Travel Cleaner.

Traditional hot cloth irons have more of a history and a risk of causing injury to the user. Despite this it is the most popular type of hot iron found in households across the world. This is true even though they are harder to use and not as effective as garment or fabric steamers like the Tobi steamer.

The Tobi steamer is almost the same type of technology as a professional fabric steamer. These fabric steamers allow you to do a professional job on a garment - even at home. The professional garment steamers are often many times more costly then a smaller unit like the Tobi steamer. However you can end up with a very well pressed dress shirt or dress using the Tobi steamer. That is because the steamer is very good at pressing details like collar edges, pleats, buttons, hems and zippers.

A clothes steamer such a the Tobi steamer is ideal for making your garments look as pristine as if you had taken them to a professional cleaner. Steamers are also safe for almost any type of fabric or material.

There is almost no way to harm fabric using a Tobi steamer unless you add some sort of additive to the water like a perfume or a scent or use hard water. That is why it is always recommended that you use what the professional garment cleaners use inside their fabric steamers. Only distilled water should be used in Tobi steam cleaners as well if you want the best results. A professional garment cleaner would never use water from a faucet inside a steamer of any kind. When traveling with the Tobi Travel steamer be sure to bring a small bottle of distilled water. http://www.tobi-steamer.net is my most reliable resource for steam cleaning.
