Not owning an iron atm I used this to steamer to touch up a silk wedding dress and other fine Cotten and heavier linen shirts and pants before packing to go a honeymoon. I ended up doing soooo much more, pillow cases, new sheets on the bed etc, etc. Why buy an iron, after a little bit of practice youll love it. ( We actually thought of taking it with us, ha ha). Worth every cent. Love the delicate fabric cover. Great present.
