steam press

Vapor-powered iron

A steam press is a device that uses heated plates and steam to smooth wrinkles from fabric, working like an industrial iron.

Unlike handheld irons, a steam press clamps down on clothing laid flat, covering more area at once: The dry cleaner ran the shirt through the steam press.

Home versions exist for people who do heavy ironing.
