I hate ironing and I have some vouchers to use so I was thinking of buying a hand held steamer . Would welcome any recommendations please

I bought Mioduro handheld steamer £19.99 Amazon initially for curtain creases. I bought my daughter and daughter in law one too.
Impressed with outcome especially on duvet covers on the bed. Straight from laundry put on the bed and steam away saves struggling with the iron board. Its equally good with clothes just be careful it does get hot.

I bought a cheap one from Asda I don’t have many clothes that need ironing and haven’t regretted it at all I hang the items up and just give them a quick blast when needed

Thanks ladies . If you iron sheets on the bed are they a bit damp?

Ironing sheets?

Sheets no its too much I used to hand iron them years ago. I have been carefully folding them to limit the creases since then.

They are creased after one night so why bother.

I agree, Kitty. I used to starch and iron my sheets, but came to the conclusion that life is too short. I don't buy anything that needs ironing now and haven't done any for years!

A steamer is a game-changer! So much faster and easier than ironing. I'd recommend a Philips or a handheld Conair for reliable use with those vouchers.
