subject: Commercial Garment Steamer Buying Guides [print this page] Have you ever wondered how the garments found in a store appear so pristinely ironed, how the pleats are just so, and they look so appealing to you that you can hardly resist buying them? The answer can be found in a commercial garment steamer.
Granted not everyone owns a store filled with magnificent garments, nor can everyone be the owner of a dry cleaning establishment where people expect garments to come out looking like new all the time. However, it may surprise you to find out that higher ups in government work, famous singers as well as headline actors use them all the time to make sure that their garments appear as elegant and well constructed as possible.
The difference between a commercial garment steamer and just a garment steamer is that they warm up much quicker, and hold more water than the residential type of steamer. By being able to hold much more water, this translates into the fact that a commercial garment steamer will run for much longer than a regular one will, enabling the operator to work longer and actually more efficiently when they do not have to stop what they are doing in order to refill the tank, then wait for it to heat up again before returning to work. Most commercial steamers can hold up to a gallon of water, and for example these commercial steamers can sometimes continue to produce the right amount of steam for approximately one hour and 45 minutes.
Too, although some regular steamers may have this feature, most commercial garment steamers will have an emergency shut off valve so that the unit is not ever allowed to go bone dry and thus ruin the tank and possibly send off tainted steam the next time it is used. Some will have a warning light signaling that its time to refill the tank instead.
Also, you may find that there is a substantial difference in ordinary steamers and commercial garment steamers in that the hose link used to carry the steam may well be longer. For example some residential steamers will have a five foot hose, whereas a commercial garment steamer may have one that is 5 1/2 foot long enabling the user to reach fully into special garments that may have an extra long skirt or even a train as some wedding dresses feature.
Because they are going to be used substantially more often than normal household steamers, as well as have longer use terms, you will note that they are constructed to be more durable. This means that they will have metal and wood handles instead of plastic ones, for instance.
Since commercial garment steamers will be used for a horde of clothing made of different materials, many of them are equipped with a means of modification for the steam settings. For example you would not wish to use the same setting for a peau de soi dress, with its satin weave, as you would for a denim jacket.
