STEAM IRON
Smoothing out wrinkles of dry clothes
You can smooth out wrinkles of clothes after hanging, wearing, or keeping them in a closet.
(The smoothing effect varies depending on the load size and type of clothes. You cannot remove all
wrinkles.)
Clothes that you usually do not iron, such as long-sleeve T-shirts, can also be smoothed easily.
Towels that feel coarse after hanging can be softened and made fluffy.
The highly deodorizing effect cleans away odors.
(You cannot eliminate all odors. Some odors may remain, depending on the type and level of odor.)
The following wrinkles are hard to remove:
Deep wrinkles caused by drying operation
Wrinkles on synthetic fiber products (e.g., polyester)
