From crisp office shirts to delicate abayas and curtains, the right iron or garment steamer makes light work of creases. This guide explains the difference between dry irons, steam irons and garment steamers, and lists the best you can buy online in Qatar right now, with real prices in QAR.
Steam iron, dry iron or garment steamer?
A dry iron is simple and cheap. A steam iron removes creases faster and handles thicker fabrics. A garment steamer - upright or handheld - refreshes hanging clothes, delicate fabrics, suits and curtains without an ironing board.
How to choose the right iron or steamer
- Type: dry iron for basics, steam iron for faster crease removal, garment steamer for hanging clothes and delicate fabrics.
- Wattage: 1600-2400W heats faster and gives stronger, more continuous steam.
- Soleplate: a ceramic or non-stick soleplate glides smoothly and protects fabrics.
- Steam features: continuous steam, vertical steam and a steam boost help with stubborn creases.
- Tank & safety: a larger tank means fewer refills; anti-drip, anti-calc and auto shut-off add convenience and safety.
