Cadrim is a small company that started out making beauty products and their steamer was recommended to me by a beautician friend. She said it changed her life after years battling with spitting, underpowered handheld steamers that leave watermarks on your clothes. Clothes steamers are multi-functional pieces of kit, too. They can be used for cleaning curtains and upholstery, killing the majority of bacteria and removing stale odours. They let you de-crease duvets without removing them from the bed and, if you have a work shirt that needs a little freshen-up, steaming it is far better for the environment than throwing it into the washing machine and tumble dryer. (Talking of which, heated airers are a newfound godsend for the energy-aware.) Retail expert Carmen Lopez adds, “It is best to steam your items from top to bottom, holding the steamer a few inches away from the fabric in each area of your garment until you see the wrinkles disappear. Gently shake the fabric out from time to time to help relax the fibres.” Extra features of this Morphy Richards steam irons model are its adjustable steam and temperature controls plus a three-year warranty for increased buyer's confidence.
