As your drycleaner knows, steam is the gentlest, safest, most efficient method to remove wrinkles from fabrics. The powerful action of steam penetrates the fibers, relaxes them and causes the wrinkles to release. Unlike ironing, the gentle method of steaming increases the life of clothing. Steaming breathes new life into fabrics; conversely, ironing crushes clothing fibers. Many users have found that steaming is up to five times faster than conventional ironing. The Model J-2000 has the same lightweight, flexible hose and easy-roll casters for mobility as the Model J-2, but with an updated design and several ergonomics features. This versatile Residential Series steamer has even been found by some owners to eliminate dust mites in bedding. You will enjoy discovering new applications for this powerful and flexible appliance in your home.
