Combining the benefits of steaming and ironing, the Steamfast SF-434 Fabric Steamer & Iron is a versatile way to care for your fabrics. Hot steam penetrates deep into fabrics and relaxes fibers, releasing wrinkles and freshening clothes while the non-stick ironing sole plate creates crisp, professional creases. The Fabric Steamer & Iron is gentle on your most delicate fabrics, yet works equally well on drapes, upholstery and other heavier materials. Strong steam not only freshens fabrics and releases wrinkles, but reduces dust mite allergens, kills germs and bed bugs as well. With a maneuverable free-standing design, the Fabric Steamer & Iron merges the best of traditional ironing with modern steaming technology.
