Garment steamers Singapore


Most of us have an arsenal of fancy wear in our wardrobes for special occasions like weddings and date nights. These usually come in delicate forms like sharp pleats and silky textures, so it’s only natural we’re adamant about ironing them, for fear of leaving scorch marks or worse – holes on pricey buys. 

While most of us typically use irons at home, garment steamers have been quickly gaining in popularity as an easier, quicker and less accident-prone alternative to straightening out creases. If you’ve been sitting on the idea of getting one, below are the best eight garment steamers in Singapore, to release wrinkles in a jiffy.

Pro-tip: Add essential oils into the water tank to make your clothes smell extra good.
