[BlindTlk] Good portable steamers?

[Judy Jones]

Yes, but if you have any wrinkly clothes in the first place, they would need
a steamer or some way to get wrinkles out.  Cotton fabric is especially bad
about that, unless it is a polyester blend, and even the way to check for
tiny wrinkles that aren't obvious is with a light touch when examining the
fabric.  Not all wrinkles are like creases.

One thing you can do is get the right kind of luggage where you can hang the
suits and shirts up when traveling, and just put them in the closet as soon
as you get into the hotel.


That would help tremendously answer, because I'd love ot have one.


Any othe rtricks would be welcome.

I've heard of one which is having the shower going with the door closed to
help get wrinkles out.


I am also wating for any kind of portable steamer.

Greetings,

One thing I know about myself is that I am not good when it comes to ironing
shirts and pants. I guess I just never really learned well enough to do it.
However, now that I'm traveling more and wearing things other than just
jeans and polos, I don't want to wear nice clothes wrinkled or depend on
others to worry about taking wrinkles out for me. 

Recently, when traveling with some people, I noticed they were using a
steamer on their clothes, since there weren't irons in the hotel rooms. That
steamer seemed to work well, making me think that I should maybe look into a
portable one for myself.

Does anyone have experience with using something portable like that? How
easy is it for a blind person to use? I don't necessarily want something
bulky or heavy if I'm going to travel with one. I've looked at prices, and
there are some that aren't very expensive. We'll see what happens.

Jim
