Cirrus 3 Iron Steamer – Sage

What’s the difference between Cirrus 3 Iron Steamer and Cirrus X Handheld Steamer?

The main difference is that Cirrus 3 Iron Steamer has a heated ironing plate, while Cirrus X Handheld Steamer is a regular steamer with a non-heated front plate. The Cirrus 3 Iron Steamer also has a flat base and can stand up on its own. Cirrus X Handheld Steamer instead has a hanging loop for easy storage.

Do I need to descale my Cirrus 3 Iron Steamer?

No, you don’t need to descale your Cirrus 3 Iron Steamer. It’s equipped with built-in limescale traps that minimize the risk of limescale clogging the steamer. However, if you live in an area with hard water, we always recommend using distilled or filtered water.

Can I steam delicate fabrics even if the ironing plate is heated?

The ironing plate is only heated to the equivalent of heat level one on a conventional iron, which is usually reserved for delicate fabrics like silk or cashmere. We still recommend being extra careful when steaming delicate fabrics. Start by holding the steamer at a small distance from the fabric when steaming particularly delicate items.

How long can I use my Cirrus 3 Iron Steamer for?

We recommend that you steam for a maximum of 30 minutes at a time and allow it to cool down between sessions. If you need to steam many more items in one go, we recommend using a standing steamer with a larger water tank and continuous steam, like our Cumulus Home Steamer.

Why is the steam not more visible?

Cirrus 3 Iron Steamer produces a special kind of high-quality, dry steam that penetrates the fabric and fights wrinkles without dampening the garment. Dry steam appears lighter, dissipates faster, and leaves minimal moisture residue, while wet steam looks denser, lingers longer, and leaves water droplets behind.
