Fashionistas are ditching hotel irons for a 'lightweight and compact' clothes steamer, as travellers brand it a 'great companion' when going away. The small gadget takes away unwanted creases and wrinkles, and its steam helps kill bacteria and odours from clothes.
The Swan Handheld Garment Steamer costs less than £20, as Amazon drops it to a new £17.99 price. With its dual use of upright steaming and flat ironing (can be used on sofa fabrics and curtains) shoppers are switching out irons for the tiny steamer as many say 'they're never ironing again'.
There's a detachable water tank, removable fabric brush and a continuous steam action function to ensure that heat can help kill any bacteria. Its nifty design means it can be popped in any suitcase or overnight bag for on-the-go use.

The gadget also comes with an overheat protection system which will alert users if the device ever reaches a temperature too hot. It will automatically turn off if the steam gets too hot as well as if it reaches a low water storage.
This may be essential for any cleaning buffs who, instead of taking it abroad for summer dresses and linen shirts, may want to use it to straighten out soft home furnishings, the temperature control will ensure no delicate fabric is ruined. The Swan device can be used on most fabrics including cotton, silk, and velvet as well as bedding and carpet.
As users shared how to use the seemingly simple gadget: "Fill up the bottom, turn it on for two minutes and it's ready to go, with no water leaks" while
