When steaming, touch the material lightly with steam head and wrinkles will instantly vanish. The combination of the steam and the steam head is important for a smooth finish. Do not directly touch velvet or silk with the steam head.

Some articles can be steamed better from the underside. This allows the steam to relax the fibers of the material, thus removing the wrinkles.

Pants may be easily steamed by hanging them by the cuff.

Always steam with hose in upright position so that collected condensation is free to flow back into the steamer. If steaming in a low position near floor, frequently straighten hose up and out to keep clear of condensation.
