Designed to simplify life, this steam-powered wonder eliminates the need for harsh chemicals and is safe to use on all ironable fabrics, from delicate silks to sturdy upholstery. Plus, it has been scientifically proven to eliminate C19 in just two seconds, offering an extra layer of protection.
Additionally, the Propress steamer is more gentle clothes than ironing and increases wears between washing, giving garments a longer lifecycle whilst cutting down on water usage and chemicals for increased sustainability. Packed with triple-action benefits, the Propress MINI smooths out creases, restores fabric shapes, and removes odours while killing 99.9% of bacteria, ensuring garments stay fresh and last longer. Its coated steam sole plate delivers twice the performance, making it the ideal choice for those looking for both efficiency and convenience.
This innovative handheld steamer iron comes complete with a travel bag, steam mitt, and a detachable water tank (130ml) for easy storage and portability. Furthermore, Propress also offer a unique and versatile 'Big Belly' tank option, which nearly doubles the capacity and steaming time, catering to more demanding tasks (sold separately at £20). Both the Propress MINI Handheld Clothes Steamer and Propress MINI Big Belly Tank are available now from www.propress.co.uk, with pricing starting at £110.
