Product Overview
The Salav GS18-DJ Standing Garment Steamer has been made as a way to remove wrinkles on garments like shirts, dresses, curtains by steaming rather than using an actual iron and ironing board.
It includes a full size standing unit that can be extended by a long extension rod, a hanger included in the product to hold your garments while you are steaming them, and a very flexible steam hose.
Customers Say
Many consumers prefer the Salav steamer because of how fast it does heat up as well as generates an adequate amount of steam for all your normal everyday clothing items.
Many times when you see customer reviews about this product they will talk about how much they enjoy the fact that there is a hanger and it stands upright making it easy to use with hanging type clothes such as shirts, dresses, jackets etc.
