Caring for your Fall Wardrobe

You’ve put away your summer clothing and now it’s time to bring out the light jackets and heavier pants in preparation for fall. If you don’t want to deal with the hot, heavy iron – and why would you want to when you know that an iron only flattens your shirts and takes the life out of them – make sure you don’t misplace your Tobi Steamer! Your Tobi can help you with those long-sleeved shirt creases and have you looking put together whether you’re going to dinner or the school bake sale.

Even pants hanging in clothes storage bags are suffering from the neglect of hanging in a closet all summer. They might be crushed together in the back of the closet all wrinkled, or perhaps they’re hanging in the attic and have taken on a bit of a musty smell. Either way, your Tobi and the power of steam can take out the wrinkles, put back the creases, and make sure any musty attic odors are steamed into oblivion.

Caring for Your Flag on Memorial Day

There used to be both Armistice Day (honoring WWI) and Memorial Day (honoring WWII) - now they're both rolled into Memorial Day. Since it's a two-in-one holiday, we need to be twice as patriotic when looking toward celebrating it.

There are lots of rules about how to treat the flag. From not leaving it out in the rain to making sure it doesn’t get dropped on the ground, following them all can be overwhelming. A basic rule of thumb for caring for your flag is if you would not do it to your child, don’t do it to the flag. You don’t put it out at night without a light and you make sure it’s kept clean and well cared for.

If you store your flag in the standard triangle fold, when you unfurl that flag you more likely than not will have wrinkles in your flag. If you want to get rid of those wrinkles as well as any attic or closet odor that might be attached to your flag, an easy way to take care of it is steam cleaning. With your Tobi Steamer you can take care of the flag without having to crush it under an iron. That’s showing respect.

Caring for your Spring Wardrobe

Your spring wardrobe is probably your favorite, but from light linens to the sexy silks, you’ve got more wrinkles than you know what to do with! You did the best you could to store them effectively, using storage drawers and cubby holes in your closet, but wrinkles are still a part of your life that you'd be happy to live without. When you’re getting your short-sleeve shirts and matching tank tops together, make sure you have your Tobi Steamer handy so your wardrobe can look its best.

If you decide you want to wear something that’s sitting at the bottom of your hamper, you can still avoid embarrassment if you take out your Tobi Steamer, put the desired garment on a hanger, and steam it for just a few minutes. You can be the fashionista you’ve always wanted to be with something as simple as the Tobi Steamer.

Caring for your Summer Wardrobe

Sometimes when you put away your summer clothing it’s easy to ball up those small tank tops and pairs of shorts and you were tempted to cram as much as possible into one bin. You wanted to save space, and that makes sense. Unfortunately, after you're done saving space, you're left with a mess of wrinkles and possibly even odors when you unpack all those summer clothes for fun in the sun.

Re-washing to remove attic odor and re-washing so you can get rid of wrinkles in the dryer is not only a waste of your time, but a waste of time and money. Extra washes wears clothing out faster, as does flattening the fibers of your clothing with repeated ironing. The best way to care for tank tops, shorts, and all your other favorite summer clothing choices is by steaming them to perfection. If you take your handheld Tobi Steamer with you on summer vacations, you can make sure even your most wrinkle-prone fabrics look fabulous when you wear them out of the hotel.

From your embroidered tank tops to your best wrap skirt, both you and the kids can look fabulous all summer when you have the power of the Tobi steamer on your side.

Caring for your Winter Wardrobe

Your winter wardrobe is probably one of your favorites. Whether you're expecting snow or just slightly lower temperatures, winter is the time of snuggly sweaters and comfy coats. Fashionable scarves and warm hats and gloves are the best parts of any wardrobe because they're fun and don’t go out of style quickly.

But when you bring your winter clothes out they're probably musty from being packed together for months without air or circulation. If one of your sweaters was the least bit damp when you packed your winter clothing until next season, the whole lot can come out of the storage container smelling like mildew. If this happens, you don’t have to throw them all away and start from scratch. You can save your budget and your wardrobe by using the Tobi Steamer to get that mildew odor out of your winter clothes. That beautiful wrap you’re afraid to iron? If it’s safe for steam, it’s safe for Tobi.

No matter what you have in your winter wardrobe, you can make sure they all look refreshed and like new by using your Tobi Steamer to plump, steam, and remove any lingering odors.

Celebrate How Much Heart You Have!

People make fun of Valentine’s Day, but you can’t get enough. You have Valentine’s day themed clothing, stuffed animals, and throw pillows all themed with hearts. You don’t care how other people feel about the holiday because it makes you happy. But what won’t make you happy is having to replace your favorite stuffed Valentine animal because it got dirty or worn out. If you want to refresh those adorable little stuffed friends of yours, as well as your throw pillows and clothing, grab your Tobi Steamer and start refreshing! Tobi works on all fabrics that are safe for steam, so you can refresh stuffed hearts, stuffed bears, and stuffed pillows.

You can also make sure all your themed shirts that have been packed tightly into plastic storage containers look good as new. Steaming your clothing takes out the wrinkles and gets rid of any lingering odors that may remain from all the storage time your clothing spends in the closet or attic. Have a heart and treat your Valentine’s Day clothing with love, use the sweet power of steam to get rid of odors and wrinkles. Thanks to your Tobi Steamer, your stuffed animals will look newer, your stuffed hearts will be brighter, and your home will look like it is filled with your love of Valentine’s Day.

Don't Hunt for your Seasonal Clothing

Easter is a time for reflection, but also for fun. Children in beautiful Easter dresses or suits, egg hunts, stuffed animals, and lots of chocolate are par for the course. Whether your holiday clothing is bunny-themed or more serious, you want it to look as good as new when you wear it out of the house. The kids also need to look great if you’re going to church or an Easter egg hunt.

The Tobi Steamer is a much better alternative to an iron for yours and the kids’ easter best. Little suits are easy to take the wrinkles out of, and you won’t end up with creases where you don’t want them. With an iron you can crush the delicate fabric of an easter dress, but with the Tobi Steamer, as long as the dress is safe for steam, you can freshen it without crushing it.

Don't let Holiday Clothing Scare You!

Your favorite holiday of the year is Halloween. From the scary spiders to the haunted houses, you love it all. You show pride in your favorite holiday with your Halloween socks, black cat t-shirts and that wonderful headband with the fabric spiders hanging off of it.

But how do you take care of all your Halloween things? From the witch you hang outside on your porch to the fake scarecrow on the bench in your front yard, you need to keep everyone together so they last a long time. The more Halloween decorations you have to replace, the fewer new ones you’ll have. If you want to have the scariest house on the block, you can’t be throwing out decorations year after year.

If you just leave your scary monsters in the basement or the attic, you'll find they have mildew clothes and wrinkes. Your Tobi steamer will give you the power you need to clean up your monsters to a refreshed and terrifying shine. You can tell everyone what’s really scary is how inexpensive and easy it was to purchase and use the Tobi Steamer to keep everyone looking ship-shape.

Red, White, Blue and Tobi

Fourth of July is a great time of year. Many people wear festive clothing and enjoy wearing the bright colors of the flag. From holiday sweatshirts to embroidered flag shirts, everyone is able to celebrate while honoring their own personal style. What is your Fourth of July style? Do you like embroidery? Sequins? Decals? Most of those are not going to mix well with ironing, and you might find that you’re spending more time ironing your shirts than you’ll ever spend wearing it. Plus, when you iron you're pressing down the fabric with heat, which destroys the fabric much faster than it would normally take for the fabric to wear out with normal use.

How do you take care of your holiday wardrobe without spending so much time? If you want to dress up, the Tobi Steamer can help you do that without having to worry about your embroidery, decals, or sequins. As long as it’s safe for steam, it’s safe to go over with the Tobi Steamer. That way you can spend your time wearing your holiday favorites instead of spending it ironing them. You can also steam your favorite Fourth of July blankets, throw pillows or themed tablecloths in far less time than you would be able to iron them, and they’ll look refreshed, too.

Turkey, Stuffing, and Your Holiday Wardrobe

Thanksgiving is the time when your family gets together to celebrate. You start celebrating Thanksgiving early with earrings, sweaters, and even those cute themed socks. Your clothing is the hit of every Thanksgiving get-together and you like being the center of your family’s attention by celebrating and bringing the rest of your family together.

But those clothes only get worn for two weeks out of the year. The rest of the year they’re packed away and up until now you’ve taken them out every year, washed them all, dried them all, ironed them all and then worn them with pride. If you’re looking into making your clothes last longer you have to stop doing all that washing, drying, and ironing. All that cleaning, drying, and pressing wears your fabrics out, and soon your favorite Thanksgiving sweatshirt is going to be nothing but a memory. For clothing you only wear two weeks a year, they should last longer than just three years or so.

When you unpack your wonderful Thanksgiving clothing, get out your Tobi Steamer and your holiday clothing will be wrinkle and odor free before you know it. Making your clothes last longer is something to really celebrate!

Wear those Whites!

It's still common to only wear your whites between Memorial Day and Labor Day (June, July, and August). With only three months available to wear some of your classiest wardrobe items, you don't have time to prep your whole wardrobe once you take it out of storage. Before Memorial Day sneaks up on you, make sure to mark a week before on your calendar so you’ll be prepared to get your clothing out of storage. For white linen care, one of the main problems are wrinkles. Linen loves to wrinkle, but it’s one of the greatest, most breathable fabrics out there. You’ll feel so good when you’re wearing it that it’s more than worth the care it takes to keep it wrinkle-free.

But if there was a way to make linen easier to care for, wouldn’t you be thrilled to take advantage? Linen loves steam. Steam gets rid of wrinkles. Instead of having to worry about crushing your delicate linen under a hot iron, you can just put it on a hanger and use the Tobi Steamer to get those wrinkles right out. Make your linen, and all your whites, look fantastic by steaming them instead of ironing. Enjoy wearing your whites, because they look fabulous.
