steam dryer

Wrinkle-reducing laundry machine

A steam dryer is a clothes dryer that uses steam to reduce wrinkles, freshen fabrics, and release odors without a full wash cycle.

The steam relaxes fibers, making garments easier to iron or presentable straight from the dryer: I ran my suit through the steam dryer before the interview.

Some models also use steam during regular drying cycles to minimize static and soften clothes.
