To the lazy ones, who had finally convinced themselves that the carelessly crumpled style could be tendency. To the most maniacs, who had made a reason for seeing this chore as the necessary passage for an im-pec-cable outfit. That, in addition to changing your mind, may change your life!

There are mornings like that ...

Because history always begins the same way. The coffee morning swallowed in disaster (option small toe of foot in the coffee table), you frantically seek this cursed top that you are certain, was dragging on the back of the armchair of your room. Lack of luck (yes, your organization is not questioned, is it?) If you find it at this particular place, it has since had time to be covered by a mountain of clothes of all kinds. Result: the state of the perfect little top, totally wrinkled, is up to the height of your disappointment. Two options are available to you. Make a cross on the ideal outfit and search your dressing room looking for a correct room, or stopwatch in hand, pull out the ironing board and swap your make-up niche for a small wrinkle session.

The little story that would change everything

In 1999, David and Olivier Gabison, ready-to-wear manufacturers in the United States, discovered a revolutionary vertical ironing tool invented by the Americans in the 1950s: the steamer. Back in France in 2003, while importing the steamer of the United States for the needs of their brand of ready-to-wear, the interest for this playful and powerful apparatus is such in their entourage, to found SteamOne , the first European steamer brand.

Steaming and freshness: the double effect "steamer"

With the vaporizer steamer, more heavy and cumbersome table to get out of the cubicle. The appliance is connected to the mains and the steam is directly vertical. In addition to making our clothes come out of a dry cleaning, the action of water vapor drives away the bad odors in the fibers of the fabric. With you a fast and playful smoothing of all the delicate textiles which could be damaged by the direct heat of the soleplate of a classic iron.

How to choose your steamer?

The first question to ask is the use one wishes to have. If there are nomad versions , which will easily slip into your travel bag for a weekend for example, their bigger brother the vertical steplesser , more powerful, has our preference. Very efficient, it uses the power of water vapor to put KO folds; it is essential to learn about the power of the device (from 100 to 2500W), the steam flow (from 20 to 150g / min) and the pressure (from 3 to 6 bar). The capacity of the reservoir is also important; of its size will depend on the recurrence of the fillings (preferably demineralised water). And our steam plant, we throw it? No. If the steamer performs miracles on the vast majority of textiles (dresses, light blouses, trousers, etc.), the weight of an iron on thick fabrics or on details such as wrists or shirt collars has not its the same.

Our favorite: the new model made in France UNILYS by SteamOne . It heats up in only 60 seconds and offers a perfect steaming thanks to its 2000W power, its stability and the accessories supplied with the device. In addition, UNILYS runs on running water. No more charging with demineralised water, the 1.2-liter tank is filled directly with the tap. To communicate on its place in the world of fashion, the brand launched on Instagram through a fictional character, Steamy, that can be followed on his @steamy_official account .
