apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

oh my gosh i was just pricing steamers the other day!
I need them for my curtains and my clothes...i hate ironing!

All of my ironing! I hate to iron.
It really is the downfall of my life.
I would truly rather clean someone elses
toilet with a toothbrush.

the first task will be throwing out my iron!!!!

I plan to steam my drapes, a couple of dresses, and a polo shirt that has developed a weird crease but that I can't bring myself to dry clean. Oh, and if it's not too hot, I may steam my cats. They would probably prefer it to a bath!

I iron everything. My girlfriend irons nothing. We don't match. I hate wrinkles.

first thing i'd tackle will be the wrinkly curtains!!! ugh they look terrible but i'm too lazy to take em down and iron them!

I plan on steaming all my food at my desk. Never again will I leave for the kitchen. Just turn the steamer on, prop it against something, and place a pork bun underneath.

Oooh! I've been meaning to buying one of these!!
It'd make my sewing life SO much better! That and my curtains could use a wash, but I don't want to go through the hassle of ironing them. But with this I wouldn't have to!!
My life would be less wrinkly with one of these. :)

I only iron sewing materials, not my actual clothes. I used to have a Sunbeam travel steamer, but it died a couple of years ago. This would be the perfect replacement.

I'd stop acting like the leave-it-in-the-bathroom-while-you-shower trick actually works.

I would for sure stop spritzing my wrinklies and than throwing 'em in my dryer..I'm as green as can be..except for that lazy habit..and my drapes would be smooth and classy..not crinkled and cat haired!
If I don't win this bitch I may just hafta buy it!
I would be so grateful I would also iron all my friends stuff!

Ummm - I currently use a spray bottle of water and my hair dryer to get the wrinkles out of shirts in the morning before work. Thank god I am a geologist and slightly wrinkled t-shirts are ok....but wouldn't it be great if I could have no wrinkles!!

curtains.

my ironing

Awesome! I hate ironing

I absolutely need one of these! I would use it on all my sport coats and suits. Wrinkly suits just don't look good. I'd also use it for my wife's clothes, I'm the Laundry Doer of the house!

Oh this would be perfect. I hate ironing button downs and my silky dresses (which can't even be really ironed). This would make life way easier. And I'd probably try steaming everything to make it clean!

Oh my goodness! I've been trying to convince BF that a steamer would kick the butt of his old heavy iron! Yes please.

curtains, clothes, and my sheets!

My Husband's shirts for work, especially. Using an iron is very tedious and takes alot of time, and this would cut down on the time and the tediousness, what a joy that would be. I'd also use it for our drapes as well. I sell vintage doll clothing on eBay, too, and I think something like this would be great to use, as the iron is so large and the clothing so little and sometimes fragile. If this works well, I'd spread the word like wildfire to my fellow eBayers! Thanks!

WoW! me could sure use this for my hubby's workshirts....
......

I would steam the cat hair off of everything!

I'm always too lazy to hang my clothes up properly at the end of the day. Typically, this means I dry clean a lot of clothes that probably don't need it. Would a steamer help my crumpled blazers? Yes it would!

omg. I have to iron every single day before work, I'd love to have one these and not have to lug out the iron from the hall closet in the morning!

And my curtains, oh I'd loooove to steam my curtains!

I would steam everything that I can.

I'd toss my iron and use this on everything.

All of my fall/winter clothes (currently packed tightly in vacuum bags) after switching out my summer clothes from my storage. Such perfect timing!

I would immediately use it on my curtains and window treatments.

Forget the iron..the real battle is wrestling with that dang ironing board! I almost lost a finger the last time I used that unwieldy contraption!

Any machine that would allow me toss that ironingboard-torture-device out the door and onto a scap pile, is something I need to own.

Yeah, steamer!

I would steam my husbands dress shirts. They are a pain to iron.

Drapery projects (6 80" long windows need roman shades), upholstery fabric preparation for my reupholstery and sewing projects (I like to do my own custom work) and just getting my clothes nice and tidy right before work!

beats ironing!

I would use it to steam my work clothes. They often have wrinkles when the come out of the dryer and I hate to iron. I used a steamer at a place I worked once and loved it for use on clothes. It would be wonderful to have one.

What a wonderful product. I would first use this on our curtains. Then, I would try it out on my work clothes. Since I iron weekly and really dread the job and would hope that this steamer would make my iron jobs go much easier.
Thanks so much for this giveaway.

i have one of those poufy hemmed dress that still seems to be in style for some reason. anyway using an iron ends up adding a few more creases then taking them out.

I would get to work on my tablecloths. I never seem to get out all of the wrinkles when I iron and I've wondered if a steamer would get better results. I hope to win so that I can find out!

Oh the drapes really need this. Some of my thin tops are so wrinkled and I really do not want to chance ironing them. This would be so fine!

Wow, think of all the time I could save with this by using it instead of the iron. I would definitely use it on all of my husband's suits and shirts and the pieces I have that need ironing (the joy of working from home is the dress code rocks!). I also have these gorgeous drapes in my office that constantly get wrinkled, and I never iron the, so I would definitely steam them and my other window treatments. Wonderful prize--thanks!

my boyfriend's entire closet.

curtains, clothes, table cloths...

My drapes and clothes could use this

cannot iron (or sew a button).... fell in love with steaming while selling vintage clothes... NOT a crossdresser OR a heterosexual but any girl with something voluminous and couture with linings and stiffeners and trains in yards of swishy fabrics would be welcome to bring it over so I could get lost in the folds of it, the steam and the subtle notes of long ago perfumes re-awakened....

I'd steam my drapes and my husband (everything he wears)

We would steam fabric samples at the office, the bedskirt of my bed at home (wrinkly lil' bugger!), and the occassional facial :)

I have ironed my duvet *on* the bed, I was so tired of seeing the wrinkles! A steamer like this would make me the dewrinklerizing fairy in my house :)

my last steamer burned the tar out of me. i hope this one is a little more safe!

You mean I can start buying clothes NOT made of synthetics??? My fear of ironing has me wearing only wrinkleproof dresses. Plus, you can use these steamers to make synthetic dreadlocks!

definitely ironing my new(ish) curtains that have been hanging up, but alas, still have creases from being folded.

I NEED this! I would use to steam clothes... all the live long day ;)

just try combining a wrinkle-hating engaged couple with a 200 square foot studio and an ironing board...we all just cant fit! the steamer would be the perfect solution and keep everything from our jeans to dresses to duvet covers (did i mention we hate wrinkles???) perfectly pressed! huzzah!

My cloth napkins, my sheets, and my wardrobe!

my pants

I would use it to get some sleep. I usually wake up everymorning to the sound of my boyfriend yelling at the iron.

DRAPES, THE CAR SEATS, THE SOFA- I WILL PROBABLY GO NUTS WITH IT...OH AND MY SON AS HE LEAVES FOR WORK- YOU KNOW THE WRINKLED LOOK IS IN NOT!!!!!

I plan to steam my clothes and my husband work shirts.

I would steam everything I own that's made of fabric. Everything.

My clothes that are linens and my drapes.

That really delicate silk and chiffon that I'm terrified to iron for fear of ruining. My room divider curtain, my drapes, my sheets.

i was just pricing these! all of my clothing (i hate ironing) and my couch....the cushions in the back are so wrinkly...

I'd do the drapes and my sheets!

Perfect item for the duvet when it comes out all wadded up from the dryer. I feel like I've ironed 3 acres afterwards. Plus the pillowcases.

I've been looking for a steam iron for some time as I have no skill with a flat iron. This would make my life much easier!

i supose i could try it on veggies...

oh, Rowenta. what *wouldn't* I steam?

I want a steamer so I can steam my boyfriends clothes... while he's wearing them, and make him yelp, like they do on Project Runway.

This steamer would help me throw a dinner party. I'd steam: napkins and tablecloth for dinner; pretty party outfit for me; and my pillowcases (so wrinkly!) and duvet cover (in case I have a guest. In which case, we might make our own steam, wink, wink.) Thanks!

Wow - I didn't know Rowenta made steamers too...

...I could really use one of these for my suits, duvets and draperies.

So many things - mainly as a start the drapes, sheets, table cloths.

In addition to all my clothes, sewing projects, curtains, car and furniture, I'd probably use it as an occoasional humiditier and a kitchen counter cleaner.

my woal jackets and business suits would definitely benefit

curtains! linen ones! and everything else!

My sister has one of those and loves it. Now I need to have one!

I do the ironing around my house so it would help me with my wife's scrub's and my work cloths. So pick me please !

I'll use for secret agent spy stuff. Oh and curtains.

We have very limited closet space and everything gets crammed in. If I forget to hang something in the shower the day before, I simply can't wear it without looking "frumpy" I would love to have this steamer.

I need this so I can stop showing up to work looking disheveled in wrinkled clothes covered in cat hair.

My LINEN sofa. I know, never again.

I need a steamer so bad. My bedroom curtains look like crap because they are so wrinkled. But they are too large and heavy to be easily ironed. A steamer would be the perfect solution.

Oh wow. The slipcover for my couch. And then, you know, important stuff. Like dresses.

my life! clothes, drapes, bedding...oh, the fun to be had

What with the 7 orphans I took in and all the ironing I have to do each morning to get them to not get beaten at school, I could really really use this steamer. Though, of course, I'm probably not as deserving as the other people here...

I would use this on my boyfriend's work shirts, he never irons them and so he never wears them. He just wears the same ones that don't wrinkle over and over again. He refuses to get rid of the ones that he needs to iron though. I don't get it, at all.

My living room drapes.

my couch, my loveseat, my curtains, fabric that i sew with--everything!! absolutely everything.

I would steam everything that now just gets spritzed with wrinkle releaser (not that this isn't a great product also).

I don't mind ironing. I'm just not very good at it.

My husband's uniform shirts always been a fresh press or
steam to get wrinkles out before he leaves the house. This would be perfect for him..(and me!)

sheets, drapes, and lots and lots of clothes!!!

All my boring work clothes.... and my pretty marimekko wall hanging!

oo, i could use this. i HATE to iron and have tons of blouses i don't wear because of my laziness.

I want it, I want it, I want it! I have a bit of curtain hel and this would just do the trick! :)

The first thing I'll do is put up my IKEA grommet curtains and iron them - that's the only reason I haven't hung them yet!

Give it to me.

I would love to have one of these! I iron things, put them in the closet, & by the time I want to wear them they need to be ironed again. This would be a great time saver. Great giveaway, thanks.

This item has been out of stock at B,B & B for quite some time. I did my home work and know this steamer meets all my demands including the size of whole unit itself.

i have these great cotton pillowcases and the hems get SO wrinkly - i haven't ever been able to smooth them out! so i'm not even sure this would help!

This would be perfect for the quilts I make. I need a steamer. :)

my work clothes, my curtains, my bedskirt...

I'd steam the curtains first... then I'd start on my closet

well, first should def be the bedroom curtains which I hung, gee, 10 months ago. . .

then onto the nifty tunic I picked up on sale only to discover *shudder* it needs pressing before wearing. . .

of course, the living room furniture just recently out of storage could use a touch, I'm sure. . .

wow, and that's not even addressing the To Be Ironed pile

please, a steamer!

Curtains and clothes! I'm a terrible ironer, so instead I wear wrinkly clothes (or knits that don't wrinkle).

I would use this to iron our clothes at home instead of taking them to the cleaners. Also, this would be handy for steaming out the wrinkles of all the fabrics I use for my craft projects.

*I hope I win*

Everything: I really need it!!!

Anything and everything that may or may not be wrinkled.

i'll stop doing most of my ironing

Rowenta is the very best!!!!!!

I want to win!

My old couch demands slipcovers. This would help keep it looking quite dapper.

perfect for my vegetables! i kid.. i'll use it so i'll never have to go out in public like i slept in my clothes.

Anything and everything, but right now I would love it for my bedskirt!!!

i hear steamed chicken is good

Getting wrinkles out of my clothes would absolutely be the first thing.

I would use it for everything, especially those curtains that I'm afraid to wash!

I think I would go steamer crazy and tackle everything I own!

My wrinkle shirt

Ironing definitiely. This would help so much.

I would use it on a fabric couch I'm trying to save from the garbage heap that's been taken over by pet fur/dander/general malaise. I have tried regular vacs, sofa shampooers, febreez roller tape, dryer sheets, rubber gloves - everything. (It's not the pets fault, this particular fabric just held on to everything like glue). But I can't give it away like this, so it has no hope but wasteland unless I can find something.

Husband shirts!!

I would use it in lieu of an iron. I have a family of 5 in a very small house in Austin. Taking an ironing board out and keeping the kids away from it is no easy task.

Drapes and garments will just about do it for me.

Dress shirts and curtains... oooohhh, to think of the potential hours saved from the tedious task of ironing...

I need this to reduce my dry cleaning dependence. I'd use it on skirts, jackets, blankets, pants, and most importantly, I'll probably need it when I get married in May to keep the dress that my mother is making by hand looking top notch!

WooHoo - I could actually stop using my iron on clothes (and rediscover its most effective use as a grilled cheese device)!

I hate going to the dry cleaners especially with my vintage clothes. This way I could get out the wrinkles without potentially damaging delicate rayons and crepe.

oh i need this! my former roommate married the guy who loaned one to us for 3 years. i lost the steamer access and my place to live. all could be redeemed!

maybe it will take the wrinkles out of me

clothes, drapes, veggies!

I would love one of these. I spent 2 hrs a week ironing my husband work clothes. This steamer would make my work so much easier.

To keep my cheap clothes looking like a million bucks!

yes please ;)

i thought i was the only person who was too lazy to take their curtains down and iron them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm not much into ironing sheets, but hate wrinkly pillowcases, so i'd have a go at them with this steamer.
also great for a quick facial.

I would like to get to those delicate drapes that I need to get the wrinkles out of

i'd use this on my overly wrinkled suits

Eight white curtain panels in the living room, and if I can leave through that task then onto the curtains in bedrooms, closet, and bathroom window. Wish me luck!

clean my draperies!

In our home we use a spray bottle with water and spray the clothes while they are on us. I would much rather steam them before putting them on!

wow, what timing! on my to-do list that i've been carrying on for weeks is this sad task: iron all the clothes that i have not worn for a year because it's so time consuming and it makes me sweat!!! now that it's cooling down, the extra warmth is acceptable. too bad all the wrinkled clothes are my spring and summer ones! i hope steamers really work.

ON my curtains.!!!

I would attack wrinkles everywhere I saw them!!!!!

my curtains, my shirts, my jeans, and all my girlfriends clothes. This thing would save my life.

my curtains, my dress shirts, my jeans, and all my girlfriend's clothes.

oh, I have this little dress with folds in it that makes me insane when I try to iron it!

I absolutely must clean my furniture and I'm sure there's lots of other things to be cleaned as well! And then there's the ironing. . .

The question is what wouldn't I use it on. It would be great for curtains, comforters, furniture where the dogs sit, clothes for wearing and before they go into the garage sale or auction site. I'd use it everywhere on anything that couldn't move out of my way.

Curtains!!

fog effect for my halloween party?

oh and drapes, too!

because my carpet matches my drapes, and both need a good steamin'!

I've been eyeing this!

My white couch - yeah, I know I asked for it getting white.

I would do all the curtains and then do my three daughter's frilly party dresses for the holidays.

i HATE wrinkles!! so this would definitely come in handy since i basically iron everything.

"remove.... animal fur for a professional finish," so I figure I'd run it over my Chihuahua a few times.... nah, nah, just seeing if you were paying attention -- I would really like to see my jeans a bit less wrinkled without going through the hassle of ironing.

I'd steam my darned curtains that still have the nice fold marks from the package.

:)

The jackets that I put away for cooler weather, my blankets and the sweaters that were crushed in the attic. These poor things were under a beam that fell when the attic was remodeled.

I travel back and forth from NYC to New Haven a lot - I'd use this to get all the wrinkles out of my packed clothes.

I would steam my husbands shirts/suits and also I volunteer in a hospital second hand shop and we could use it to make wrinkled clothes look better so we could sell them for more money

Thanks for the great offer! If I won this I would tackle my husband's dress shirts first.

We have a Rowenta Iron and have been lusting after the steamer. We would steam drapes, suits and refresh bedding for that smooth luxe look.

my wrinkles will hate this...

For a family that hates to iron, this would be perfect!

Linens and rayons and cords. OH MY!

Besides using it to iron my clothes, I would use it on my den furniture. Microfiber wrinkles and I think that the steamer will get them out!

I bet it would work wonders on my curtains and all my clothes too.

my bedskirt, my curtains, my shower curtain!!!!

My work shirts almost look like they're meant to be wrinkled, except that, well, they don't. And I have a few dresses that could really do with a good steam. Not to mention slacks... Oh, Rowenta IS1430 1400-Watt Pro Compact Steamer, my heart yearns for thee.

ooooohhh mmmmyyy gooooood! I love this Thursday! I'd start with my bed sheets and the Marimekko fabric hanging on our wall!

I think the first thing I'd do would be to steam the wrinkles right outa my 49 year old face!

Curtains and suits!!!

First, I plan on doing all of my drapes and curtains, after I wash them. Then my fabric shower curtains, then....I can find many uses for this steamer!

I would tackle my VERY wrinkled white linen skirt that I haven't worn in three years, because I can't bear to iron it.

I want to freshen my curtains.

I plan on doing the curtains first.

This would be great to have, won't have to iron again.

I would steam my couch, some throw pillows, mattresses, all my clothes! EVERYTHING

I despise ironing...so clothes and drapes.

how ironic!

We just thinking about getting a steamer instead of sending our clothes to the dry cleaners to save money...

I'd start on this tired old face and then give my tired old suit a going over.

I have been wanting a steamer for months but keep having to spend money on "necessaries" instead. Please help all my wrinkled clothes out!

I have a big need for a steamer. I have to wash the shears in my windows. I've been putting it off because it's such a big job to iron them all after they're washed.

This would be great for draperies! Thanks for the giveaway!

Oh, my, everything! I'll be setting up my sewing room soon, and this would be a welcome addition.

My quilt I am working on, my drapes, my husband's suit..I can think of tons of things to tackle. Probably hit the drapes first, they need it the worst.

What a wonderful contraption! Where do I start? I would steam everything until I ran out of tap water. I would use the steamer for it's wrinkle eliminating abilities as well as germ/cleaning abilities... nothing works as well as hot steam!

steaming everything our dog has had the pleasure of getting on.

It would be great to get the wrinkles out of delicate clothing. I have some things with tiny pleats or other details and this would do the trick.

First-curtains. Second-everything else!

I bought suits for my first business formal job this summer. I stupidly dry cleaned them before I came, but they all got wrinkled on my trip back to law school. I plan to use the steamer for my suit jacket and suit pants ahead of my interviews this month.

I have an event to go to at the end of the month and I would steam my Tuxedo.

lets see...those huge swaths of linen that I need to sew into something but don't cuz who wants to iron 10 yards of fabric....then there's the usual tablecloths, curtains, my boyfriend's shirts, etc, etc, etc

Freshen up my drapes, that would be nice.

I would love to use this on my curtains and my shirts!!

I have been wanting a steamer for so long. I am tired of burning my hands when I iron sewing projects. And forget having the skill or patience to iron a shirt.

It would be so lovely to go to work in a shirt without wrinkles (and my husband too). I would love to be able to smooth out the wrinkles in my sewing projects so easily.

I actually don't have space for an ironing board at my place, so I iron on the floor. I'd use this thing for all my clothes, and pretty much anything else I'd iron. I would probably look for stuff to use it on!

Curtains, clothes, will skip on the dogs. But if I had Sharpei...

My iron konked out this would be great, the end of September is when I start my fall cleaning and changing over of curtains, so my curtains, bedding and valances would go first and of course the fall sweaters when I change over my seasonal clothes in the closet.

My drapes could use it!

this would be great to give my clothes a more professional look before going to work each day!

I would use it on the suit I got today actually!

curtains, sheets, you name it, until the novelty wears off.

COTTON SHIRTS,JEANS.

working in retail for a company that focuses on fashion, it would be fantastic to steam my cute cotton clothes instead of ironing. i'd love a few extra minutes in the morning with my dogs before working all day!

My sheets and my wedding dress (I'm getting married in November)!

Everything that does not run away at my approach...

I have a shower curtain that I have not been able to get the wrinkles out of no matter what I try. I think this just might do the trick. If not, I'm throwing the curtain away, tired of trying!

My new curtains need to be smoothed out.

such an awesome prize, I could use this on the curtains and the sheets, everything.

I would sneak up on my dog when she's sleeping and scare her with the steam! JK. I'd steam the hell out of my easily-wrinkled Calvin Klein duvet.

Wow! So small--just fabulous! I would really be able to handle this steamer with my carpal tunnel syndrome, the others are too big and cumbersome.

I've got a pile of wrinkled fabrics just waiting to be steamed!

It would certainly be to dewrinkle all of the clothes in the house. I never iron. I have so many clothes in my closet that I never wear because they're to wrinkled and I won't iron them.

Perfect! My Iron just broke! Plus I was never any good at ironing anyways.... I'd use it on the ton of clothes in my closet that I don't wear because they're too wrinkled!

Wow, I am not adept at ironing (husband says I only use the iron to attempt grilling cheese sandwiches) this would make life with husband after 27 years a bit easier!

I think I would use it alot around the house (upholstery mostly) and I would use it for sewing mostly.

I would use it to clean up the stove top.

Great prize. I would use it for clothes, curtains, ands rugs. Thank you for the great giveaway!!

Steam the draperies

I would remove the wallpaper in the laundry room that I hate!
