Need new Iron

[realclean]

What do most use for heat on dye stains?

 

[Johnny]

Wagner wallpaper steamer. Approx. $50 at interlink or HD. Black & Decker is more compact, but harder to find. Might be out of production.

I currently use a black and decker and I do like it but I was talking with Jim Pemberton today because I recently had a reaction with heat and a spotter that the customer must have used and it took the color out. He recommended a jiffy steamer because u just direct the steam at the spot but u can still see it cause u aren't covering it up. This way you can immediately see any color loss taking place.

You can set it on the stain and work on other spots.

It is the steam that activates our Dynachem Dye Stain Remover.

Both......If I have a lot of red spots I will whip out the wall paper steamer...I can set it down and move around to do other things...you don't have to baby sit it as much.....
If it is just a few red spot then I use the cheap $7 iron....

Go to Deseret Industries or goodwill and pick up a couple of $1-2 irons. You do not need anything expensive nor do you want to use your wife's as your going to "ruin" the iron for using it for anything else. As for steamers Home Depot always had them on sale for less then what I can buy them for. We have a Home Depot 3-4 minutes from us so it had never made any sense for me to stock them as I would have to charge $10 more then Home Depot to not lose money.

Northern Tool had some Namco steamers on EBay the other day.

They are very similar to the B&D Wallpaper Steamer

I bought a steamer to use,. The Wagner. Takes a while to heat up and is bulky. We could not see it working with our system and fitting neatly in our vans. We are just sticking with the cheap walmart irons.

Larry how fast does the one you have heat up?

How about a video post of the whole process so we can see the time it takes. I like the smaller foot print.

The Wagner is garbage.. If you start with cold water it takes like 15 minuets to heat up. B&D and the one Larry posted will be steaming in 30sec to a min.. You do have to watch them on cheap poly, they will leave a ring..

I would like to get some feedback on the Namco Brad posted.. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200619591_200619591

Tom;

It heats up in under 2 minutes.

buy the one larry sells they last a long time

 

[Loren Egland]

I have a couple that looked like the ones Larry sells. I couldn't keep them working even though I tried to take gentle care of them. I liked the way they worked though.

They last longer when you also use Larry's proprietary R/O water..
