Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I replace my iron with a steamer?
-
A garment steamer is not an iron, so it won’t give you the same results especially on thick cotton or linen shirts. Instead, a garment steamer is ideal for de-wrinkling thin fabrics, delicate fabrics and garments with difficult designs, such as pleated skirts. It is also great for touching up and refreshing all kinds of garments, including woolens and jackets. That said, if you want to live life ironing-board free, you’ll be sure to get good results by just using your new Handheld Steamer 3000 Series.
- Is my Handheld Steamer 3000 Series safe for use on all garments?
-
Yes, your Handheld Steamer 3000 Series is safe and suitable for use on all ironable garments. There’s no risk of scorching or burning.
- What type of water should I use in my Philips steam iron or steamer?
-
Using the right type of water will help prolong the life of your Handheld Steamer 3000 Series. Here are some tips and tricks:
Both are designed to be used with tap water. If you live in an area with hard water, though, limescale may build up quickly
If this is the case, try using distilled or demineralised water (50% demineralised water mixed with tap water can be used too).
Do not use perfumed water, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other chemicals. Not only are they unsafe but they may also cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your steamer or iron.
To fragrance your clothes, instead try:
• Using perfumed washing softener in your wash
• Using essential oils (aromas) during washing
• Spritzing your garment with perfumed water after ironing or steaming
- Can using Handheld Steamer 3000 Series replace a washing cycle?
-
Using your Handheld Steamer 3000 Series does not replace a full washing cycle, but can help you refresh your clothes between washes, helping you to extend the time between washes. Not only is this good for the life of your clothes but it’s good for the environment too.
There are other benefits too. Steaming with a Handheld Steamer 3000 Series removes odours and kills 99.9% of bacteria, leaving clothes fresh, healthy and ready to wear.
- Is it safe to touch my garment with my steamer?
-

The hot plate is specially designed for this. It will not burn or leave wet spots and can be pressed directly against any item of clothing that needs steaming.
