I recently saw an assistant in clothes shop whizzing thru the "ironing" at a rate of knots with a garment steamer. I'm very tempted to buy one but am wondering if the ones sold for domestic use are any good. Does anyone have one?


I'm thinking of something like this http://www.scottsofstow.co.uk/Garment-Steamer/Product1_22051_-1_17958_10551

I used to iron EVERYTHING - I mean even vests and pants etc - I blame my Mum who was the same!


These days I have a new rule - as soon as it is dry I sort it into piles and put away as much as I can get away with not ironing, it has made such a difference and quite honestly for things like kids T shirts and leggings they look just fine without.


Still iron my work stuff etc. of course, but it has revolutionised my life, if only I could wear my exercise gear 24/7 I'd never have to iron again LOL.

Pricey but Brooks Brothers and others have non iron shirts and ever since the Mr got a few the iron has been in a closet, they are wonderful and on sale I think they are worth the expense. I just wash them with other clothes, shake them out once they are out of the wash and dry them on a hanger. Wa-la.

    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.

    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
