Celebrate Mother's Day With Tobi

If you’re looking for a gift for mom this Mother’s Day that doesn’t involve chocolate or something else that won’t help her every day, consider the Tobi steamer. No mom thinks it’s fun ironing, and if you can get rid of the traditional iron, it will save mom both time and back pain that tends to be standard with ironing loads of laundry. When you tell mom – no ironing will be done tonight – and then break out the Tobi, she’ll be amazed that you got her something that will really make her everyday life easier.

Think a Tobi is enough? Think again! You’re also going to want to give mom some Mother’s Day coupons that entitle her to you doing some housework now and then. Don’t worry, the Tobi makes wrinkle-removing so easy you won’t mind helping mom out. Tell her you’ll iron one load of laundry a week for up to ten weeks a year and she’ll be so happy you offered to help she may even cry a little.

That’s going to make you feel good about your gift, and because you made your mother so happy by offering to help. Just because what you’re offering to help with is going to be super-easy that’s not even a big deal for mom. She will just be thrilled to know you care enough to help.

Don't Ruin Your Clothes by Ironing

Ironing, water, and the dryer can all wear out good clothing before its time. When you have a favorite piece of clothing you need to take care of it so it will last beyond one season of wear. Classic pieces in your wardrobe need to be treated as close to professionally as possible to make sure they are there for every occasion you dream of wearing them to.

Even the sturdiest fabric is delicate at its core. Agitation of washing can pull fabric apart and mixed with the weight of water, it can spell disaster for a favorite blouse or dress. Then after it’s been tossed in a dryer and agitated while it dries, you’re going to find that wrinkles are inevitable. When you take out this precious piece of clothing that’s now been abused by your washing machine and dryer, you plunk it down on your ironing board and press it between a really hot iron and a flat surface. Is it any wonder your clothes wear out and need to be replaced sooner than you’d like?

With the Tobi Steamer, you don’t have to worry about pressing down and distorting the fibers, because steam fills the fibers and plumps them to their original shape. This keeps your clothing fresh and makes it last longer than pressing it flat with a hot iron.

Fed Up With Irons?

Everyone who's just begun to iron their own clothes knows what a time-consuming task it is. Most of the time, the problem seems to be the iron itself. You lay a sleeve down on the ironing board and go over it a few times, then turn it over only to see that you were ironing creases into the other side of the sleeve. Now you need to try to get those out, and just hope you're not doing the same thing to the side you already ironed. And that's not even mentioning how awkward the shoulders of the shirt and the collar can be.

Fortunately, there's a better solution. By using a Tobi Steamer (which by the way is the same thing dry cleaners use to get your clothes so fresh) you can take the wrinkles out of your clothes without worrying about wrinkling them even more. The Tobi Steamer refreshes clothes on their hangers so, unlike ironing, you'll never end up with more wrinkles than when you started

Finding it Difficult to Iron Properly?

Ironing always seems so easy when you’re watching someone else. Whether it’s your mother or a grandmother or an aunt, when you watch someone else with efficiency and flair, it’s easy to think it’s going to work that way when you get out your ironing board and iron. You know, put the shirt on the ironing board just right and then, with a few deft swipes with the iron, getting those wrinkles and creases out only to find that you’re done with all that ironing in a matter of a half hour.

If only reality was that way. When someone makes ironing look effortless it’s because they’ve had years upon years of practice. Ironing takes forever to learn how to do well, and even after the first few years the shoulders and buttons can still pose problems. Ironing mistakes don’t just mean you’ll have wrinkles, either. You can burn holes into fabric and have to buy new shirts and pants if you’re not really careful with the iron. If you do something as simple as walk away from your ironing board you can nudge the table as you walk away and the iron can fall down onto the ironing board, leaving a burn mark on your ironing board. Instead of dealing with all that hassle, just get a Tobi Steamer and let the power of steam do the worek for you.

Get the Family Involved in Ironing

It can be difficult to get your family in on the act, especially when it comes to ironing. Your kids would probably be perfectly happy to wear clothing to school without any ironing at all. So how do you introduce ways to convince the kids that family friendly ironing is possible?

Leading by example can be the number one way to get your kids to join in the ironing fun. If you get your husband to iron, and make sure this happens when the kids can see him helping, your kids will be more likely to believe you when you tell them ironing isn’t just for mom.

Consider using rewards to get the kids to help. If you’re on a budget you don’t have to offer money-related rewards. Maybe if they iron they can skip a chore from their regular list. If they can choose something they really dislike, that means they will be more likely to take on the ironing.

If you have multiple children, spread the love. Don’t make one child do the ironing every time. Also consider using a Tobi steamer. It’s not as heavy and is easier to control than a traditional iron, so your kids are less likely to make mistakes that ruin clothing as well as less likely to burn themselves on the hot surface of the iron.

Ironing Boards in the Walls

Many people are excited when they find they are moving into a house with a wall-mounted ironing board. They figure it takes less space than a freestanding ironing board and will be really convenient. Unfortunately, having a wall-mounted ironing board is not very convenient when you realize that part of that ironing board is always going to be attached to your wall.

When you’re trying to iron something like a shirt, you’re going to have to move the shirt more often. You have to move any piece of clothing more often than you would if you had a freestanding ironing board because in most cases you can’t even walk around to the other side of the ironing board when it’s in the wall, because they tend to be installed in a corner area.

If you're still busy struggling with a wall mount ironing board, consider moving away from ironing altogether and upgrade to steaming with the Tobi Steamer. You can hang your garments instead of laying them flat and when you steam you aren’t abusing the fabric as much as with ironing so your clothing will last much longer. Between the convenience of steaming and the amount of additional wear your clothing will last through, you will find your Tobi to be an economical and easy alternative to ironing.

Ironing for Bachelors

Just because you're a bachelor doesn't mean you have to live up to the stereotype. Messy clothing isn’t going to help you become not a bachelor anymore. Even if you’re perfectly happy being a single guy and aren’t looking to change that, there is no reason to look sloppy when you leave the house.

But you think ironing is for women, right? Something you don’t want to deal with? Aren’t you glad that ironing for bachelors isn’t as difficult as it was in the past? Tobi steamer is ironing made easy for men because it takes away the iron and the ironing board, and who wants those in a bachelor pad?

If you have a hot date planned, take your Tobi handheld steamer and the outfit you’re going to wear and in less than ten minutes you can have wrinkle-free clothing with the glorious odor-removal that steaming provides your fabrics. Even if you didn’t have time to do laundry (and really, who does?) your clothing doesn’t have to suffer, and your date doesn’t ever have to know.

She’ll think you’re perfectly capable of taking care of yourself and that will make her more likely to go out on a second date with you. Heck, even if you’re not dating, you can use the Tobi before a big interview or meeting with a client. Don’t lose a deal because you look sloppy.

Not Your Mother's Ironing Board

When you look around your house, you’ll notice that there are a lot of things that can be ironed. Some of them are really large, like quilts and tablecloths. Your mother may have believed in big board ironing, placing a large piece of wood or plastic or using another heat resistant surface in order to get that tablecloth wrinkle-free. Sometimes people even use the the kitchen table to ensure they have enough space for ironing.

The problem is, after a piece has been ironed and you shift the whole thing over the top the fabric can puddle down on the floor, putting fresh new wrinkles into the fabric you’re trying to make look beautiful. That’s not very productive and could be considered extreme ironing to say the least. Steaming is a better way to take care of large pieces of fabric that need to be wrinkle and odor-free.

If you use a Tobi steamer for your large fabrics, you can hang them from practically anywhere to get that fresh wrinkle-free look. From hanging your tablecloth from your drapery rod, to clipping your quilt to your shower rod, there are so many more options than having to lay down a large piece of fabric on a table or big ironing board to try and take out the wrinkles.

Putting Your Iron on the Fashion Runway?

You wouldn’t leave the house without a bracelet or necklace or ring, but do you accessorize your ironing board? Some people will throw a blue damask ironing board cover on to keep the ironing board trendy and up-to-date. You may even trade in your stand-alone ironing board completely for a wall-mount ironing board to save space and update the look of your laundry room.

Some people even feel the ironing board itself can be an accessory for the laundry room. Ironing board covers come in so many styles and colors, you can spruce up a dull-looking laundry room in a minute by putting a fun cover on your ironing board. You could even put fun gem-colored stickers on the sides of your ironing board. Just make sure if you put any kind of stickers or plastic near or on your ironing board that you don’t place them too close to where the iron itself will go. Irons get really hot and will melt not only fabrics, but your attempts to spruce up your ironing board as well.

These ironing accessories can seem helpful up front, but really, spending more money on ironing isn’t going to make the actual task of ironing any less annoying or cumbersome. When you can use the Tobi Pro Steamer and make your clothing wrinkle-free, odor-free, and refreshed with every use.

Steam to the Rescue

You've heard about the power of steaming clothes, but you've got some questions. Wouldn't steam that relaxes fabric and makes it softer make it more easily wrinkled? You might think so, but the answer is no. A great trick to steaming clothes is to steam them where they hang. the power of gravity will pull the wrinkles out of the clothes as they sit on their hangers, and they'll stay that way until you need to wear them. Another great trick is to steam clothes while you wear them. A Tobi Steamer is gentle enough that it will remove wrinkles without the risk of burns. Steam is really the latest evolution in fabric care, and it works with less effort and better results than ironing.

Tired of Burning Your Clothes?

If you’ve been trying to iron and it just doesn’t seem to be working out for you, don’t fear, you aren’t alone. Ironing is a skill – really a gift – and it’s not easy to get right.

Burning ClothesOne of the most common problems is burning clothes while ironing. If you hold the iron on for just a little too long you can end up with scorch marks or the smell of burning fabric. That doesn’t come out easily and at the very least if you lightly burn clothing you have to rewash to get the smell out.

Ironing Delicate FabricsIroning panties and bras and other delicates can be difficult because of the shape. Also when panties get ironed you have to make sure there are no decals or other decorations that will be melted by the heat of an iron. If that happens the decal won’t just melt, it will melt onto your iron, possibly ruining it and at the very least smelling just awful.

When you use a Tobi Steamer, you eliminate all the problems above. You just hang your delicates, hold them taught at the bottom, and steam away the wrinkles. As a bonus if you’ve been storing items from winter that attic smell will come right out when you steam because of the superior odor-removal quality of steam.
