Who's here because they bought a garment steamer, gave it a try then wondered if they're doing it right? Just me? Oh okay. Hahaha

She made perfect sense and I am embarrassed I was spitting water all over my clothes and tap water at that. Thanks for teaching me how to stream my clothes at 37 LOL

Thanks for this, I bought a clothes steamer and had no idea how to use it, now it works great.

Your instructions: simple and effective. Thank you.

Thank you... I just got my first steamer and your video was not only helpful, but it was also enjoyable to watch. You're awesome. :)

this came in good time. I bought a steamer a year ago and never used it. I'm glad you said distilled water because I would have just used tap water. I have 2 curtain panels that I want to steam out the wrinkles. Great motivation.

ohhhhhh distiller water!!! who would have thunk it??? 😅😅😅 my "little steamer" has been a trooper lol

Beautiful! Thank you!

This video should be called - How to TALK about steaming your clothes...

This was everything absolutely iconic thank you

Melissa, I have read some of the comments and they are dead wrong. I used my OXA which I have had in the box for a year and a half. I can't believe how easy it was to use. Thanks for the tutorial. I literally just used it on curtains I just made for my new apartment. It worked like a dream. Thanks alot. I gave thumbs up and will subscribe. Thanks a lot.

Very nice and engaging presentation! Well done!

Great tips. I've been steaming my clothes for years the wrong way. I never thought to use distilled water. I guess that explains why I need to keep buying steamers. Thanks for the great tips.

Smart, sensible, helpful. Thank you Melissa.

Thanks. Love your channel !

Perfect explanation. Thank you very much

Hold 6 inches away from your garment *holds 1.5” away from the garment* 😂

Very informative. Thanks to your video I just fwd your video to costume interns rather than me talking forever. Thank youuuu.

I thought this was a video made by a brand at first. You're amazing!

Thanks! This was helpful

appreciate the humour.. thanks for this !

Merry Christmas, Great tip about distilled water. Great video and tutorial.

Excellent tutorial!

Great video! Thank you!

thank you so much for sharing, very helpful.

Thank you! This is great!!

Melissa, I love youj, respect you, and need you, but demonstration makes a good video. I don't have a garment steamer, I have never SEEN a garment steamer, and I have never seen anyone USE a garment steamer, either. We iron. For hours! Sometimes all day on Saturday! ALL DAY ! So it would help if you would actually show a few garments and how to steam them: a wool suit or winter wool slacks - what about the lining? a silk blouse? shirts and dresses that got wrinkly in the closet altho already ironed....silky nighties, linen shirts, etc. Not just talk about it. Please. I hate ironing, but love summer cottons. But how? Will the collars pull at the corners? How can you get the button placket to lie flat? etc.

Thank you for sharing! I've always considered investing in a garment steamer, but I never knew what to look for. Are garment steamers that different from each other?

@Melissa Maker Conair should hire you to write their instruction manuals. The people in charge, obviously have no sense of reality. If they had, they would have included all of this in the manual. I'm keeping mine instead of returning it as I intended because of you. I really appreciate, thank you so much. Conair should not just thank you, but give you a job!

This was great, thanks!

Amazing video Melissa! Wish you had one of our steamers!

Thank you this was a lifesaver

I just wish in a few years from today we will look back at all the time humans wasted on ironing or steaming clothes and laugh, happily, with more time to spend on other things because technology made clothing unwrinklable.

This was helpful. Thank you very much.

Great Charisma Champ!

what sort of room do you use it in? We live in a damp climate and mould is an issue here. Thanks for the tips - steaming extra on a specific area and using essential oils. That's great.

this was great!

thank you for this videeooo ! it seems super easy and i still feel im kinda doing it wrong. i may need to get a better one. idk!

Right on thanks Merry Christmas

We love ❤️ you Melissa

Great video. Always wanted one but didnt know if it was worth it. Definitely getting one

Didn’t know about the need for distilled water. Good video

I have a large steamer and love it.

Thank you great advice

I was actually putting the steamer on the clothes🤦🏽‍♀️… you’re a life saver

Now I need a steamer ASAP!!!

This is fantastic and so easy. Thanks for this innovation.

Thank you so much

Thank you Melissa!!! Btw your hair looks beautiful 😉

Great information!!

Investing that amount of time + distilled water + fabric refresher . I would prefer outsourcing my laundry 🤣🤣

Hi Melissa, could you show me how to steam the the bottom and cuff, I always have a problem to steam the bottom id clothes, thx

Thanks, I appreciate the detail.....

thank you!

Great tips!

Host: If you wanted to iron you'll be watching a video on how to iron Me: That's a great idea

Can you please tell us what kind of steamer you use, and which one is best on the market ?

Omg I remember you from all those cleaning videos way back when. Glad I found you again and that you’re still doing videos

It looks very time consuming… I thought a Steamer is for a quick fix..

Oh.... cause I'm using it and it's like an arm workout lol....

Thank you soooooo much😘 God bless U always!😚

First KZfaqr that straight called me ugly... im subbing

I think its good for t shirts and weekend wear, not sure about using for a important meeting or for sales people

So cute and helpful

Thank you - Very Well Done - I appreciate the insight.💝

i love it

Thank you and what steamer would you recommend?

Thank you! You are very clever and have a very good sense of humor!

What’s a good brand to get ? Going to buy one soon. For clothes and curtains and such

can you steam wool blankets from thrift store? is this enough to kill germs for relatively new looking items from the thrift?

Great video - Will a steamer restore fabric shape like an iron does?

Just made the "wrinkles on the face" joke to my girlfriend before we watched. Thanks for the video.

Thanks!

I'm more confused now then before I watched this

Excellent video

Tyfs!

Can u make a video about cleaning the steamer?? I wasn't using distilled water and it has that buildup u mentioned on this video. Thx

I bought a steamer a couple years ago, thinking it would be easier than ironing. I found it took much longer and was less effective than ironing. And 6 inches away? The steam rises into the air by then. Steamer heads are made smooth so they can touch the fabric. For delicate fabrics you can hold it maybe 1 inch away. This is advised in several other videos on this topic.

distilled water is also used for topping up a car battery and maybe cheaper at a car spares place.

That snap

Does it really work ... do u get the same results as iron ?????

🎉🎉 thank you

can you steam (organic) cotton, tencel/lyocell, cupro, and modal?

My current iron has a peeling teflon plate and a busted steam function. It just left a small stain on a blouse that I just made. When searching for advice online about a new iron this video came recommended. Could you use a steamer like this to remove wrinkles on a 100% cotton poplin blouse that has lots of gathering on the sleeves, and pintucks on the front? I would still need to buy a new iron but it took me ages to iron the thing so perhaps steaming is quicker.

💜💜💜 cheers

Cant see what shes doing. Can't see the before and after. Too much taking

Hi can I put scent in the water so it smells nice for clothes OR for around the home please

Can we use purified drinking water? Like bottled water?

Quick question does anyone know if a steamer uses less electricity than an iron?

I love this women!!

Awesome

Can you please indicate which brand and model of steamer you are using. Thank you

Does the steam clean the garment as well

I think it takes practice to know about to do the steaming, I still can’t, I’m still my iron and my iron board

The irony of steaming jk great video Melissa

Do you rather a hand held steamer or a iron and ironing board?

What steamer are you recommending?

never seen something less helpful in my life

Which hand steamer is best

Who was hilding your garment hanger? I swear I noticed an arm. Thanks for sharing.
