What is the best way to use a garment steamer?

Question

I just got a home garment steamer and not sure how to use it correctly. There were no instructions on how to actually steam things. I know you can hang up the items but do you hold on them while you steam? Also pants and jeans, how can you get them really straight, what about a seam? do you put them on the bed, floor, ironing board or just hang them up to steam them. thanks

Answer 1

Hang them up and gently put the steamer almost touching the item. If it needs to be steady , hold the fabric so the steam gets where you want it . This usually works great .
