Ironing Centres

Looking great isn’t just about slipping into your good clothes and hitting the town.  It’s also about giving those clothes some proper maintenance to keep them looking good, which includes regular steam ironing.

Keeping your clothes looking their very best takes the kind of high-performance equipment that was once only available in professional laundries, as well as a lot of time and hard work.  Fortunately, Appliances Online offers a range of steam iron systems that help your clothes maintain their crisp, fresh look for years to come while eliminating much of the effort involved.

We’ve previously taken you through the benefits of LauraStar’s Steam Ironing Systems, which let you achieve hassle-free, professional-standard ironing results at home.  These all-in-one units use fast-heating irons to smooth out wrinkles in a single sweep, with the help of a large integrated storage tank that provides a long-lasting supply of steam.

But what if you have limited storage space, or travel a lot and need something a bit more portable?

LauraStar also produces a number of smaller Ironing Stations that are easier to transport and store while maintaining the top-quality results of its larger models.

Features of LauraStar’s ironing stations include:

• Three-minute heating time for your convenience.
• Removable water tanks of 800-1000 mL that let you iron without the hassle of making regular refills.
• Filters to prevent lime scale and corrosion from the water and deliver an extended lifespan to the product.
• Steam that is heated twice, once in the storage tank and once in the iron itself, to provide extra-fine, low-moisture steam that delivers smooth and consistent results.
• CLiiCK™ Intuitive Automatic Steam system on its most modern irons that removes the need to adjust the iron’s settings for different fabrics, so you’ll be able to effortlessly achieve perfect ironing results every time.

Portable ironing stations are also available from Hoover.  These also use 1 L water tanks to maintain a steady supply of steam, as well as filter systems to prevent the build-up of lime scale and corrosion.

Heated and ready to work in as little as two minutes, the unique Multi Steam Technology™ from Hoover gives you complete control over the power, direction and humidity of your iron’s steam.  Using a simple fingertip selector, you can easily switch between three preset programs to suit the requirements of your fabric and get the best results each time:

• Profound Care™ uses a well-humidified vertical steam flow to quickly remove all creases from everyday textiles.
• Precise Power™ uses angled jets of dry steam to remove creases even from difficult areas.
• Diffuse Caresse™ uses a soft and subtle flow of light but humid steam to take care of the most delicate materials.

If you need a new iron that’s easy to store, or if you’re in need of freshly-ironed clothes while travelling, then an ironing station may be something to consider.  Investigate the range available on Appliances Online and start looking your best every time you hit the town.
