Why Delicates Need Special Steam Care

Delicate fabrics like silk, lace, and fine wool require precise temperature control and gentle steam distribution to maintain their integrity. Regular steam settings can oversaturate or damage these sensitive materials, leading to unwanted shine marks or fabric distortion.

The boiler technology delivers controlled steam through hundreds of micro-holes, preventing water spots while effectively relaxing stubborn wrinkles.

Our stainless steel soleplate professional design ensures fast heat up and even steam distribution, cutting your ironing time significantly while preserving your cherished garments.

Perfect Pro Features for Gentle Fabric Care

The continuous steam system combines precision engineering with thoughtful features designed specifically for delicate garments. 

The design incorporates a precision tip that helps navigate intricate details on lace and embroidery. The handle provides superior control during detailed work.

Pro tip: When working with delicate materials like chiffon or organza, use the vertical steaming option with the precision steam head held 2-3 inches away from the fabric for gentle yet effective wrinkle removal.

High-Pressure Innovation for Safe Steaming

Modern steam technology requires a perfect balance of power and protection. Rowenta's advanced pressure control system maintains optimal steam levels between 6.8 and 7.4 bars.

The auto-off system activates within minutes when the iron remains stationary, offering peace of mind while handling your finest garments. 

Pro tip: Our customers recommend starting with the lowest steam setting for delicate fabrics, gradually adjusting as needed for optimal results.
