Based on the experience of relevant professionals who have tried steaming most materials with the steam iron garment steamer. We can know that certain materials should not be steamed, such as leather.

Materials such as suede and velvet are also advised to be used sparingly. These materials do not respond well to excess moisture. Suede and velvet should not have enough steam against them. However, we would say that steaming them from the back may remove creases, freshen fabrics and remove slight odors.

In addition to figuring out which fabrics can and shouldn't be steamed, we think it's just as important to use your garment steamer correctly. There are some things to do and some things not to do when using a garment steamer, and there are certain techniques you should use and practice.

Steaming clothes and materials with a garment steamer can depend on many things. The type of material, from natural fibers to man-made fabrics, the weight of the fabric, and the type of garment steamer used. Finally, the technology used when using a garment steamer is also a factor.

Tougher materials like linen and some cotton benefit greatly from the hot ironing boards on premium hand-held garment steamers and high-pressure garment steamers. They need heat and something to lean on for that crisp finish. However, they are equally suitable for delicate materials like silk when you cover the ironing board. Using a vertical garment steamer or a hand-held garment steamer to steam delicate materials can work wonders, provided they are steamed the right way and with a quality garment steamer.
