A garments streamer is a specialized tool used to remove wrinkles and refresh fabrics through the application of high-temperature water vapor. Unlike a traditional iron that relies on pressure and direct heat, a steamer relaxes the fibers of the material, making it ideal for delicate items like silk, sequins, or wool that might otherwise be scorched or crushed. These devices range from compact, handheld travel models to professional-grade standing units with large water tanks and integrated hangers. Beyond just smoothing out creases, the intense heat of the steam can also help neutralize odors and kill surface bacteria, extending the time between professional dry cleanings for suits, coats, and upholstery.
