Picture this: you’re about to run out the door, and you notice how creased your outfit is.

Well, if there’s one tool that we cannot recommend enough, it’s a trusty clothes steamer.
These gadgets are easy to use, fuss-free, and make the process of getting dressed a lot smoother (and quicker). Not only are they brilliant for removing creases, but some also aid in banishing unwanted scents with special technology.

You don’t have to worry about remembering to change the heat settings according to the fabric. Steamers work on all types, including delicate cashmeres, silks, and velvets, to heavier types like leather, wool, and denim.
In addition to clothing, they can be used on upholstery, like curtains and bedding, to help create a sleek look in your spaces. They also assist in sanitising mattresses, children’s toys, and even pets’ bedding. So, whether you opt for a nifty travel option or go pro with a studio style, you’ll wonder why you didn’t use these sooner.

SWAN ProSteam SI12022N Hand Steamer
You don’t always have to splash the cash to get good results, and this steamer proves why. It’s lightweight, heats up quickly and is ideal for everyday use. The water tank is on the smaller side, so you may have to make a few trips to the tap if you’re steaming multiple items or stubborn creases, but for its price, it’s a great, no-fuss option.
Newbealer Clothes Steamer
This nifty option not only ticks all of the boxes with a powerful steam output and quick heat-up time, but it also effortlessly folds up, making it easy to transport in your luggage or travel bag without taking up too much space. Unfortunately, the tank is on the small side, so it isn’t recommended for a good steaming session, but good for regular use.
Russell Hobbs Steam Genie™ 2 in 1 Handheld Clothes Steamer
This option is a multitasker, doubling as a steamer and a light iron as it excellently irons flat without the need for an ironing board. It’s powerful and works well on thicker fabrics. Despite this, due to its larger iron plate, it is bulkier than other handheld models and heavier to hold.
Phillips 5000 Series Handheld Steamer
Sleek and stylish, this steamer feels premium from the moment you take it out of its box. It comes with a heat glove, so you don’t burn yourself during, a larger water tank for longer jobs, and a smart pad to steam flat – perfect for wrapping the steamer up in once cooled and finished with. It also comes with a long mitt so you don’t burn your free hand whilst holding the garment – this double excellently as a travel bag for the gadget. We love the angled iron plate, which makes for effortless precision between the likes of shirt buttons and armpits.
Propress MINI Clothes Steamer
One of the best things about this steamer is that, of course, it does the job of removing creases, but it comes with an additional water tank, increasing its capacity from 130ml to 230ml. It is fitted with a 3-meter cord, so you don’t have to worry about being stuck near the plug. It has two steaming modes so that you can control the power, and it’s a brilliant premium option to take travelling with you.
Tefal AeroSteam DT9810 Handheld Clothes Steamer
This steamer feels like pure luxury and something from the future, justifying its price tag. With this device, you don’t have to worry about burning your hands trying to hold the fabric as you steam, as it comes with a built-in suction tool so you can steam smoothly without any faff. Downsides? It’s a little heavier and on the bulky side compared to other handheld steamers, so it may not be wise to travel with it. The noise when using, is slightly loud, but similar to that of a hoover. However, it’s perfect if you want top-tier performance and don’t mind splurging.
STEAMERY Stratus Professional Clothes Steamer
This might seem like an expensive investment, but it will surely be worth it. Boasting a large 3.2-litre water tank, so you don’t have to keep running back and forth to the tap to refill, this expert steamer comes with four wheels for ease of transportation, and it can be neatly popped in the corner so it doesn’t take up any extra space. You have a choice of two steam levels, one for delicates and the other for heavier fabrics. It also saves you from constantly washing items as the hot steam works to gently lift textures and remove odours and any bacteria. Lastly, it comes with a clever crease clamp so you’re promised crisp creases on the likes of trousers.
