Jojo, the GM of Food52, requested me to check out the brand new Steamery Cirrus X Handheld Steamer. Should you don’t already know Steamery, they make high-quality laundering merchandise. Their odor-control detergent for exercise garments has develop into so important in our home that my husband goes into panic mode when the container dips under half full.

I grew up within the age of irons and ironing boards, and had a mom who ironed not solely sheets however even denims. She additionally vacuumed in straight traces, however that’s for one more publication. Her affect on me lingers: I not iron my clothes or sheets, however I nonetheless usually yearn for a shirt that doesn’t appear like it’s been rolled right into a ball. Additionally, I’ve now been round pictures units sufficient to be tuned into the worth of a steamer to take wrinkles out of desk linens and aprons. So I used to be primed for the journey steamer problem and dutifully set to work on some difficult gadgets in my closet.

The steamer has a water receptacle that’s held into place with a magnet, which makes it simple to take away for refills. There’s additionally a hook to hold it up. Sensible particulars, famous. In lower than a minute you may get the steamer stuffed, heated, and be in your approach! You maintain the steamer as much as your clothes, press the button and glide it throughout the material. Had I identified how simple and (sure!) enjoyable steaming might be, I might have bought one years in the past.

The steamer’s portability is subjective—it is the dimensions of an immersion blender. However I don’t pack a hairdryer after I journey, both. Cumbersome gadgets simply need to make approach for extra footwear. For many who care extra about pressed clothes than an eighth pair of footwear, tremendous, have it your approach! What I’ll say is that the journey steamer is an ideal dimension for condo dwelling. I’m going to order one and eliminate each my iron and my ironing board.
