Replace the iron with the steam station

It is probably very few who enjoy ironing clothes, as it is known to be something boring and even time-consuming, but it doesn't have to be with a steam station.

With the steam station, you can quickly and easily iron your clothes, without it being boring and time-consuming as it often is with the iron.

At avXperten, we have a wide selection of tools for your clothes. For example, see steamers, stain removers, and lint removers.

5 reasons to invest in a steam station

If you are looking for a better alternative or direct replacement for your iron, then the steam station is a good choice.

Leave the ironing tasks to the steam station and achieve not only a better result but also in much less time.

Below are presented 5 good reasons why you should acquire a steam station.

#1 Steam Station vs Iron - Which is better?

Most people probably already have an iron today, but it may soon need to be replaced with the steam station.

The steam station is in fact an improved version of the iron with a significantly larger water tank.

With a larger water tank, it can also produce more steam, and the more steam there is, the easier it is to get rid of the wrinkles.

#2 Steam Station is the most effective tool against wrinkles

When you need to get rid of wrinkles on your clothes, you often use two tools, the iron and the steamer.

However, there are significant differences between the iron, the steamer, and the steam station when it comes to steam production.

• The iron can max shoot 17 g of steam per minute
• The steamer has a max of 30 g per minute.
• The steam cleaner's minimum is at 130 g per minute, with a max of 500 g on some models.

This gives a pretty good picture of how effective the steam station is compared to the iron.

Most steamers have a water tank of about 300 ml, whereas the steam station has one of 1.8 L. So you don’t have to refill the water tank nearly as many times as you do with the steamer.

Therefore, the steam station is the most effective tool for both ironing and steaming clothes, as it is technically a combination of the iron and steamers, just better.

#3 Steaming delicate fabrics

One thing that the steam station is particularly better at than the iron is ironing more delicate fabrics.

Most of our steam stations have vertical steam bursts, so you can steam your clothes while they hang on a hanger.

This way, the delicate fabric does not come into direct contact with the hot ironing surface, which can be too hot for some fabrics like these:

• Cotton
• Silk
• Acetate
• Cashmere
• Wool

#4 The steam station can be used for much more than just clothes

The iron does not have many other features apart from getting rid of wrinkles on clothes and similar tasks.

Below you can see what you can use the steam station for besides just ironing your clothes.

Bedding

You spend about a third of your life in bed, so it's also important that the bedding is clean and fresh, ensuring the best sleep quality.

When you iron the bedding, you not only get rid of the wrinkles but also ensure that any last bacteria that the washing machine did not remove are eliminated.

Bed sheets

Just like the bedding, bed sheets are also important to keep clean and fresh. It is recommended to change them once every two weeks according to Asthma-Allergy Denmark.

If you don't have space for the bed sheet in the washing machine, the steam station can easily be used to freshen up the bed sheet.

In addition to just getting rid of wrinkles, the steam from the steam station can also clean the bed sheet, as the steam is hot enough to remove most bacteria.

Curtains

It’s probably very few who clean their curtains once they’ve hung them up. However, it is a good idea to have them washed or steamed once in a while, as they are dust magnets.

Curtains can be several meters long and also require much more steam to clean than what a steamer can handle.

Therefore, the steam station is an obvious tool to tackle the job with its large water tank. Another alternative for cleaning your home is the steam cleaner, which can remove up to 99.99% of bacteria.

Remove bacteria and iron the curtains at the same time with the steam station. This way, you ensure that the curtains hang beautifully and clean.

If you are looking for various cleaning equipment, we at avXperten have a large selection. We have, for example, kitchen cleaning, steam mops, and robot vacuum cleaners.

#5 The steam station has many smart features

In addition to just being more effective than the iron, the steam station also has many smart features that can be practical for you.

• It is easy to pack the cord away, as you just need to wrap the cord around the steam station.

Some steam stations have a function that allows you to retract the cord by pressing a button, as you know it from the vacuum cleaner.

• Most of our steam stations have an anti-calc feature, which ensures that limescale goes into a container that you can take out and empty. This way, you ensure that there is no build-up of limescale on the ironing surface, which is often a major problem with regular irons.

• The auto shut-off function ensures that the steam station automatically shuts off if it is not used for some time, so it does not use electricity or cause damage.

• A smart indicator will indicate when there is soon no more water in the water tank. This way, you don’t risk standing in the middle of ironing without water.

Frequently Asked Questions about Steam Stations

What is a steam station?

The steam station is very similar to the iron, just with more power and an external water tank that can produce steam for both steaming and effectively ironing your clothes. Additionally, there are many smarter features on the steam station than there typically are on an iron. The steam pressure in a steam station is much greater than what an iron can produce, so you can fix the wrinkles in your clothes more quickly.

1. First, fill the water tank.

2. Plug the cord into the outlet and wait about 30 seconds for the steam station to warm up.

3. Then pull the iron up from the steam station and start ironing.

4. When you are finished, set the iron back into the station and unplug it from the outlet.

How much space does a steam station take up?

Even though a steam station may sound massive, it is not much larger than a typical iron. The steam station is compactly built, meaning that the iron is directly placed on the water tank and therefore does not take up much space.

What is the difference between a steam station and an iron?

How much water can a steam station hold?

Steam stations have a much larger water tank than the iron and steamer. Most steam stations have a water tank of over 1.5 liters, making it faster and more efficient to iron clothes, as the steam station can produce much more steam than a standard iron.
