I've had this Monster steam cleaner for several months now and have used it frequently for cleaning, but had never used the attachments that came with it. This week I received a knit dress from a mail-order company, and of course it came in a UPS package, deeply creased from being folded in shipment.
I was afraid to steam-press it using a regular steam iron and pressing cloth because I didn't want to press out the knit ribbing... and I certainly didn't want to accidentally burn the fabric by using the wrong iron setting. Then I decided to give the steamer a try. First I tried simply directing the steam at the wrinkles... but nothing happened. Then I popped on the "steam pressing" head (DUH), which is just a flat attachment covered in a little terrycloth cap. I brushed this over the dress, and the wrinkles fell away as if by magic. We have a winner, folks.
One caution: the instruction guide that comes with this thing has a mistake that can be critical and even get you badly burned. (It happened to me.) The maximum quantity of water it says to use in filling the machine is too much. The guide says the max is 300ml, but if you use that much, the steam will spurt out from the cap and cause the cap to get so hot it will burn you if you happen to touch it. Use no more than 200ml of water and it works fine. The 300ml is obviously a typo, which I hope they catch soon!
