  • 1.  Best costume steamer to buy?

    Posted 05-05-2023 12:36

    Hi, Everyone,

    Our theatre department saved up enough money to purchase a steamer for our green room/dressing room area.  Does anyone have some makes/models of steamers they love?  We sometimes have up to 50 costumes to steam, so I'm looking for a solution that is handy to use but doesn't make our volunteers constantly have to stop and refill the water tank.  Thank you!

    Julie

    Hi Julie! 

    This is the one we use professionally. The more you can use distilled water, the longer it will last. And MWS does frequent discounts if you get on their mailing list.
