How to steam clothes with an iron – an expert guide for crease-free garments without the extra investment

Steam iron placed on top of ironing board with tea towels.

Ironing is an art that is increasingly becoming less and less popular, as more people turn to steaming to remove creases from their clothing. However, if you don't fancy investing in yet another appliance for your home, you'll be happy to know that it is possible to steam clothes with an iron you probably already have.

Although the main purpose for using the best iron is to remove creases and wrinkles from your garments by pressing them accordingly when they're lying flat on an ironing board, seeing as many models are already equipped with a built-in steam function, it's not surprising that they can also be used solely in place of the best clothes steamer.
