Philips Steam and Go Handheld Garment Steamer Review

Philips Steam and Go Handheld Garment Steamer Review
Philips Steam and Go Handheld Garment Steamer 

I love wearing ethnic clothes but at the same time, I fear to clean them & press them because they usually have intricate embroidery or some other work which involves additional care.When we moved to Singapore, the chances of me wearing ethnic clothes have relatively decreased but the love for ethnic clothes has never reduced. There are centres to do the laundry and get your clothes dry cleaned here too, but they are quite expensive and hence I had to find some alternative way of getting my ethnic clothes cleaned and pressed.

While looking at various options online, I finally stumbled upon a garment steamer from Philips and here I have the review of the same. I wanted a handy cleaner to clean and at the same time iron my clothes, which involved more attention.

My Views on the Philips Steam & Go Handheld Steamer:

The handheld steamer comes in a cute green and white color combination and is really sturdy. The steamer is a handheld device with the provision of water storage too in the same device, unlike huge garment steamers which have one for water storage ând another for steaming.The steam head has an additional attachment with bristles that can remove any lint from the clothes and also make the steam spread uniformly on the clothes.

The water storage tube is pretty small and it can hold just 60 ml of water which would be just sufficient for a top or shirt. We just need to fill the water and attach the tube to the steamer, turn it on and press the steam release button. The water heats up almost in 20 seconds and the steam starts coming out of the steam head uniformly. I hang my clothes in a hanger and steam them vertically from top to bottom.

The steamer's steam head is a little heavy but you will get used to it once you start using it. The steamer is quite sturdy to hold and get your clothes pressed and steam cleaned. The steam that comes out of the steam head kills the bacteria in the clothes and also removes the crease from the clothes which are a big boon for me. I usually do the steam cleaning / pressing for my Indian ethnic wear including silk sarees as well as western clothes which are of a different fabric or have some detailing on them.

Some of the issues that I faced with this was that I could not remove the wrinkles completely from the button area in shirts and the need to refill the tube is quite high while dealing with sarees etc.
