Introduction

The steam iron is a device which allows us to iron our clothes to remove wrinkles. First known use of the iron was in china where they used hot metal to “iron” their clothes. Henry W. Seeley in 1882, invented the first electric iron, which lead to the development of the current steam iron. An everyday device to make our clothes always look sharp and neat.
