Cutting ironing time in half
Spending a lot of time on ironing is a thing of the past with a steam generator from Tefal - such as the Pro Express Autoclean GV8461.
But how much do you really know about steam generators? Here's Tefal's top tips:
-
Cost effective - It’s worth investing in a steam generator, by spending a little bit more you will enjoy better performance in the long term – a good steam generator will last for years to come, especially if it is equipped with anti-scale and autoclean features like those seen in the Tefal Pro Express Autoclean.
-
Take the effort out of ironing - Steam generators offer higher pressure (the force at which the steam is delivered) and more steam than a standard iron. Choose a generator that offers minimum of four bars of pressure and 120 g/min steam output to ensure even stubborn creases are removed with ease.
-
Alter your approach - Variable steam and temperature options are important for protecting garments. Delicate silks and heavier denims require different approaches. Being able to alter the iron’s temperature as well as the steam output is crucial for making sure all of your clothes get the best possible treatment.
-
Cut down on maintenance - Choose a soleplate with auto-clean, which will destroy the fibres which stick and damage glideability, reducing the need for maintenance and increasing the lifespan of your generator.
-
Long lasting - Choose a model which has an anti-scale collector to prevent limescale, this prolongs the life of your iron by preventing the regular build up of scale from water that will start to reduce the performance of your iron.
-
Cut down your household bills - Look for an eco-mode on your steam generator, this will help you save energy while still providing high performance.
- Stay safe - For added safety, auto-off functions and protective covers are a must. A locking system also secures the iron to the base when carrying so that you can pick up the generator with ease and safety.
Stubborn creases will be removed more easily with the Tefal Pro Express Autoclean GV8461. Glide through piles of ironing powerfully, with more professional results and boasting 6 bars of pressure and an extra 260g/min turbo steam, the GV8461 is hard to beat.
A steam generator is the ultimate investment for any home – the Pro Express Autoclean comes equipped with Tefal’s patented anti-scale technology, which allows the user to simply remove the regular build up of scale from water, which over time will reduce the performance of the iron, by merely emptying the handy scale collector under a tap.
