Travel steamers are a necessity when traveling unless you’re heading on a beach vacation where you expend 805 of your time in a swimsuit. But when you’re traveling for business, an event or even heading out for a night on the town, you’ll wish to have your clothing to be wrinkle-free.
Recently I met up with a buddy whom was venturing from Australia. He was heading to be in San Francisco for a few days, then one night we were intending on heading out for a nice dinner and a night on the town. We had just spent the day buying in Union Square and he located a fairly eye-catching but extremely high-priced shirt from Aldo’s. The shirt was $179.00. It was a nice long sleeved button up shirt. I ended up buying a spaghetti strap small black dress to wear later in the evening as well.
We headed to come back to his hotel to get ready for our evening out. We stopped by a department shop to pick up a travel steamer within the small appliances department. He truly wanted his new shirt and pants to look refreshing and sharp that night. He had picked out just a random hand-held steamer according to cost alone. He had picked up the Jiffy Esteam steamer but returned it back after seeing that the cost tag was about twice as much as he had wanted to expend. He ended up purchasing the Smartek garment steamer.
The Smartek garment steamer produced extremely excellent results. He was the guinea pig and applied the steamer on his new shirt. I figured if the steamer has the ability to get rid of the wrinkles from his new $179.00 designer shirt, then undoubtedly I could trust it to steam wrinkles from my $30.00 dress. I was amazed at how efficient this small travel clothes steamer was at removing wrinkles from my dress and leaving it look as I just pulled it off of the shop rack rather than from being folded up in a buying bag for more than 3 hours. It was quick and effortless to make use of too. Especially since this was equally our very first time to each and every use a clothes steamer.
Some other pretty neat features the Smartek travel steamer has is that it removes and deodorizes fabrics. It heats up quickly but it doesn’t get too hot and it won’t overheat your apparel. It’s even delicate enough to make use of more than beading and sequins.
This steamer also acts as a compact fabric steamer that could be applied on your drapes, bedding and upholstery too.
The common customer review for this clothes steamer is outstanding with 4 1/2 stars on Amazon.

Throwing away old clothes is something we are all guilty of, especially when it comes to childrens clothes which are grown out of so fast. But, there are other options. Here are a few more eco-friendly alternatives:
1) Hand them down! If you don’t have a younger child in your family that can wear them, hand them down to cousins.
2) Donate them. I’ve brought old clothes to thrift shops and the red cross receptical coutless times. As an added benefit, you can even request a receipt for your donation and write it off on your taxes!
3) Get creative! If your old clothes are simply stained, you could dye them a darker color. If they have small rips in the knees, add some flare with patches. There are so many options to renew the old!
4) Make them into cleaning rags.
There is so much you can do to recycle old clothes and be responsible citizens. All you need is a little imagination and motivation.
