Steam through the ironing with Bosch

Guest blog by Lauren Campbell.

One job universally dreaded by most has got to be the ironing. It is time consuming and never really seems to get finished. The average household launderer despairs at the prospect, wishing for the day when the ironing is already in the wardrobe and they can put their feet up.

But what if I told you there was a way to steam through the ironing? A way that entails only filling the water tank once? Where you can beat creases quickly and get the job done!

tds3-1The Bosch steam generator TDS3561GB is the perfect solution to all your ironing needs. Its sleek black bored-in silver design is not only stylish, but minimises the chance of scrapes if stored in a cupboard. The steam generator is more beneficial in a modern day life to the former dry iron, in that it can be used both wet and dry to tackle those tangles.

Starting at the front of this titan of engineering, the water tank is easy to remove from the generator’s body, meaning that it has a duality of filling options. Either bring the water to the StemGen via a jug or alternatively pop the tank off and take it to the sink and fill up with ease. Holding 1.4 litres of liquid you need never pause to refill in the middle of a laundry load as this mammoth quantity will easily contend with a full wash.

tds3-4The sturdy base of the unit sits on the floor whilst you iron, taking up little space and providing better mobility, with a long iron cord length of 1.7 metres. It also has an easy to access descaling port on the base of the unit. The iron itself is lightweight enough that it is comfortable to use for prolonged periods but with enough weight that you do not have to exert too much pressure to conquer the creases, as gravity and steam power does the job for you.

tds3-3On the nose of the iron there is a bright red warning light to show the user when the item is active, to avoid mishaps or fabric burns. With just a two minute wait time for the water to heat for the perfect steam press, the average user needs only to get the wash basket and unfold the first item of clothing before the iron is ready to use.

tds3-5The ceramic plate ensures a smooth gliding performance. With no snagging, the Bosch’s perfect point gets into all the creases and leaves anything from skirts to shirts perfectly smooth. With its 120g/min of steam and 5.5 bars of steam pressure this is the perfect iron for the fabric enthusiast. From gentle textiles such as silk and cashmere to the more stubborn and crease-prone linens, the TDS3561GB is adjustable to your needs in next to no time, providing you with a simple dial setting to alter accordingly.

As easy to set up as it is to use, this 2800w iron really does steam through the ironing. Why not head down to your local Hughes store today or click and collect! So the next time you need to find the motivation to do the ironing or your quilting hobby beckons – THINK BOSCH!
