Tefal has launched Care For You First, said to be Tefal’s most advanced automatic garment steamer, that steams, sanitises and gently dries garments.
“It introduces a new category in garment care, creating opportunities for retailers to drive incremental sales in the linen care segment,” Tefal product manager, Larissa De Souza Lima said.
“As consumers seek timesaving and energy-efficient solutions, this hands-free steamer meets the growing demand for convenience while reducing reliance on ironing and dry cleaning. The energy-efficient operation also appeals to cost-conscious consumers, making it a compelling addition to any retailer’s product lineup,” she said.
The steamer is available at key online and offline retailers, including Harvey Norman, The Good Guys, JB Hi-Fi; BSR; Myer; David Jones; Amazon and Bing Lee.
Designed for modern lifestyles, the Care For You First automatic garment steamer is a chemical-free steam technology that delivers a hygienic and eco-friendly solution, whether a new garment, one out of the washing machine or an item needing a quick refresh.
Up to three items can be inserted at a time for smooth results in as little as 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for more demanding textiles. The 40-minute sanitisation cycle eliminates up to 99.99% of viruses, * bacteria, and odours, while significantly reducing allergens, and is suitable for delicate items.
This convenient at-home solution in a compact and portable design, features a remote control, an easy-to-read display, three rotating hangers, eight large and four small straightening clips and a removable 1.2L water tank.
Simply place items into the steamer, select the desired program, and it effortlessly handles the rest.
For a quick refresh or gently drying it is said to drive five time faster without burning, making it ideal for delicate items that can’t go in the dryer, * and saves up to 40%** energy compared to traditional garment steamers. *
It is safe for all garments and materials, such as silk or wool, children’s stuffed animals, cushions, pillows, duvet covers, puffy jackets, and more (except fur, leather and suede).
