Propress launches the MINI Clothes Steamer - perfecting for wedding dresses!
Professional and long-established British fabric steamer manufacturer, Propress, has unveiled the Propress MINI Handheld Clothes Steamer. A revolutionary product that combines over 40 years of steaming expertise with cutting-edge technology, the MINI allows users to say goodbye to the days of wrestling with an ironing board and hello to the future of garment care with beautifully crease-free clothes, whether at home, in the office, or on-the-go.
The Propress Mini Handheld Clothes Steamer (£110) is available in Arctic Grey, Idol Blue or Vintage Pink from the Propress website. It heats up in under a minute offering the convenience of crease-free clothes with a simple touch of a button. Its efficiency and ease of use make it a must-have for every fashion-savvy individual, plus it is versatile enough to treat various home fabrics from curtains to bedding, and is ideal for weddings or even hoteliers.
This lightweight, portable device boasts a unique heated, coated aluminium iron plate, which allows for simultaneous steaming and pressing. Unlike traditional irons, it can be used vertically or horizontally, for ultimate flexibility in achieving wrinkle-free clothing. Designed to simplify life, this steam-powered wonder eliminates the need for harsh chemicals and is safe to use on all ironable fabrics, from delicate silks to sturdy upholstery. Plus, it has been scientifically proven to eliminate C19 in just two seconds, offering an extra layer of protection.
Additionally, the Propress steamer is more gentle clothes than ironing and increases wears between washing, giving garments a longer lifecycle whilst cutting down on water usage and chemicals for increased sustainability. Packed with triple-action benefits, the Propress MINI smooths out creases, restores fabric shapes, and removes odours while killing 99.9% of bacteria, ensuring garments stay fresh and last longer. Its coated steam sole plate delivers twice the performance, making it the ideal choice for those looking for both efficiency and convenience.
This innovative handheld steamer iron comes complete with a travel bag, steam mitt, and a detachable water tank (130ml) for easy storage and portability. Furthermore, Propress also offer a unique and versatile 'Big Belly' tank option, which nearly doubles the capacity and steaming time, catering to more demanding tasks (sold separately at £20). Both the Propress MINI Handheld Clothes Steamer and Propress MINI Big Belly Tank are available now from www.propress.co.uk, with pricing starting at £110.
With peak wedding season approaching, experts are warning couples not to rely on AI to write one of the most personal parts of their big day – their vows. A survey by jewellers Queensmith has revealed that more than half (55%) of UK brides and grooms are now using AI tools to help write their wedding vows and speeches, raising questions about authenticity, originality and even potential legal grey areas. The findings come amid a growing debate around AI-written vows after a registrar in the eastern Netherlands saw a marriage called into question when AI was used to help write the ceremony script. In the case, the District Court of Overijssel ruled that "no marriage has been established" after it emerged the registrar had relied on ChatGPT to draft parts of the ceremony. The case has sparked wider concerns that AI-generated wording could unintentionally mirror existing vows or scripts found online, raising questions about originality and authenticity.
