This vertical steamer, Stratus, is a sustainable and efficient alternative to both ironing and washing. Your clothes will be wrinkle-free, smooth and fresh in no time. The hot steam also removes bad smells, shallow dirt and bacteria. Stratus is a professional and powerful steamer often used by people in the fashion industry. The hot steam from a professional steamer lifts the textile fibers - instead of pressing them down like the iron - and makes them swell and regain their natural shape. Steaming is similar to airing clothes. The hot steam removes signs of a garment ever being worn, such as odors, shallow dirt and bacteria.
