OMG! I’m so glad I found your post! I’m new to steaming. Found a steamer at a garage sale and never used it. So today was my day. I wanted to steam a shirt plus a New jogging suit. Thanks for the tips 💜

[@mycatisbazil]

Using mini serving tongs work great instead of a peg which if you squeeze releases garment where as the tong you can grip tighter and move from area to area quickly.

[@Princesita2O]

That’s so smart

[@reemramahi5723]

Steaming from the inside is a game changer! Thank you for the great tips

[@winndazzle]

Super helpful tips for a beginner steamer. Thank you!

[@KetogenicKim]

I thought I knew about steaming clothes but you've taught me a few tricks! The Cutting Board, the clip, steaming from the inside .... awesome thank you so much!

[@Smokdeel]

When you have that much passion within you so people feel exited and energised after watching steaming clothes video.Big thanks! :)

[@vickiewhite5348]

See this is why I love ordering from you the clothes look like new I can just hang them up when I recieve them😊

[@cherylontell7201]

Oh my gosh. I’m so glad you did this video. I’ve never steamed anything until watching your videos and while I’ve gotten better at it, I’ve burned myself many times. Thank you for all the tips/hacks. I can’t wait to try them out. Btw, amazon should be given you something too, I’ve purchased so many things from them that were recommended by you😊

[@Fergs88]

Amazon does give her something. Affiliate payments. This is nothing but a commercial. Try steaming anything heavier than a t-shirt and that steamer isn't nearly as impressive. Hang those in the bathroom while you're showering and get the same results!

[@ShopFoxburrow]

We have the same steamer. It was the first thing I bought when I started my vintage clothing business. I use it for my personal stuff too!

[@ShopFoxburrow]

the clip and cutting board are new tricks to me! very clever!!

[@lulabloom4636]

feeling the love...there is something deeply comforting about watching the wrinkles fall out. Also i want that steamer!

[@CC-ed7od]

It is a game changer!

[@Ruralmomresale]

Cutting Board!? Uhm GENIIIIUUUUUS!!!!

[@IMOO1896]

I used my handheld steamer today for the first time in -ages when using wrinkle release spray didn’t remove the wrinkles in sweaters that have been stored. I’ve always moved the head from top to bottom, but found if I started at the bottom and moved up slowly, it gave the steam time to perpetrate and then the head kinda smoothed out the fabric. Using the clip to hold the edges is a great idea.

[@tateymarie5212]

Thank you so much! I just purchased a steamer from Target and came right to your video to learn lol.

[@theinfinitistig1109]

Thank you so much for sharing your tips. I carry a not so portable handheld steamer in my bag so I don't look like that pilot who slept in his uniform and has been wearing it for days lol.

[@shadowspond3488]

I just got a steamer and I am so grateful for the hacks! Thank you so much! You have been a great mentor!!!

[@chonthichacarlos4601]

Very useful and detailed!! Thank you a lot 🙏

[@magyar5615]

Great video, I have the Jiffy pro steamer which is not about 5 years old and going excellent and that is the thing that is most important for me, I made a big investment but it has paid off. I use it for my family laundry, and other items as well. The clip is a great idea, I would just be concerned with some finer fabrics, which is why I did purchase the gloves from Jiffy I believe that are heatproof for steaming, they have saved my fingers !!! Also, the board for collars is a great idea especially if it is not 2 layered fabric which is troublesome no matter what, for that, I use upward motions with the steamer head to get out those tiny wrinkle lines. Great job with the video and tips !!!

[@EbonyThief]

Thank you for this! I just got a steamer cause of your vids. A cheap Shark one, but it gets the job done!

[@Fyrinspector]

Really want this steamer. It seems powerful and this video was very helpful.

[@indicolina]

Thank You for this video. I was researching steamers this last weekend and watched many youtube videos. This was THE BEST. Extremely helpful thank you. I feel more confident with purchasing one now.

[@maryloubailey8192]

Amazing!!! You are truly a blessing! Stay safe and healthy 🙏🏼🌹

[@HelenRiggiBrumfield]

I've watched this twice already LOL My husband surprised me with a Jiffy steamer recently, it's one of those grey bottom ones and the water goes in the grey part, and I have to use a funnel to fill it, you have skills LOL I've been using the Clothespin trick, BUT the cutting board is genius!! You are so full of amazing information, Love your vids so much!!

[@MD-mm1zv]

I bought a J-4000 a few years ago, and while pricey, the Jiffy’s are made here...and are super high quality! Well worth the money IMHO. Thanks for the video!

[@kevinmayers9596]

I recommended it for my sister who lives in the us in my country it only has Hamilton beach and conair.I have the HB which is the worst

[@KimberleySprowl]

The cutting board and clip hack are soooooooooo great!! Thank you for that tip.

[@francescareese7118]

The cutting board hack is awesome!

[@Peleski]

Some good tips, though the clip on the cuffs seems a bit fiddly. I wonder if tongs would work

[@kingkrimson8771]

Very helpful, thank you! Extra points for the freshly-steamed Pink Floyd shirt. 😀

[@chngtms]

Found your videos and love love them. I learned everything from you. Im not a reseller just and older mom who raised three kids shopping at thriftstores. Now I shop just for myself and buy the brands you suggest. Thank you

[@JuliaSophia52]

Great info, I'm waiting for an Amazon delivery of my first Jiffy steamer. Thank you.

[@MD-mm1zv]

A couple other advantages to steaming over ironing and washing or dry cleaning. You won’t burn the garment... ...and you can reduce fabric damage from excessive exposure to the dry cleaning chemicals. The heat of the steam will sanitize...

[@rockyjaydog6447]

do"h! Im always burning my fingers, never thought about a clip. Great Tips

[@MonicaPhoenix]

I will use the two finger glover from hair ironing tools next time :D

[@Haleysmama]

Extremely useful!! Thank you so much!!! I just bought one and these tips will definitely help!!!

[@EmptyHanger]

Yay!

[@Oatmealcoat]

I picked up my jiffy steamer at value village for 12.99. I didn’t know I was suppose to use distilled water! Thank you!

[@Oatmealcoat]

Oh and I like the idea of the scented spray, kinda how I stumbled upon this video, I’m a big fan of your already. But I’ve been using dryer sheets to help scent my clothes. Thanks for the tips!

[@nwpurplesparkles9710]

Great video as always! I was planning on steaming today so timing is perfect! I used to steam back in my Nordy days! 🤗

[@EmptyHanger]

Yay!

[@TotalNewTrish-N]

I found a used JIFFY for $100.. Love it so far

[@TheGrumpyThrifters]

Great tips! Can you show a picture of your lights and how you set up your area to take photos? Thanks!

[@luisasilva4514]

Thanks for your video, I won't be burning my fingers anymore using a clothespin. 😊

[@TheLmori3]

Excellent tips. I love the clip and cutting board hacks. Genius!

[@Matt-bb1vz]

Helpful video. I laughed at the lavender spray. Surely "they" have invented a spray that doesn't smell like Grandma's closet by now. But I want a want to buy a steamer that works well for linen shirts and shorts. Thanks for the tips.

[@Lillispowers]

You are so brilliant!! I have those clips and now I can use them! Thanks for all your videos. BECAUSE OF YOU, I'm a Newbie @PoshPowers!!

[@EmptyHanger]

You're welcome! So glad it is helpful :)

[@ronwhitby3630]

Distilled water: I use my brita filter pitcher. Way cheaper than buying distilled water by the jug.

[@shawnlime8376]

Even at a $1

[@yvonnevandyke9759]

I am so glad you did this video! I have been struggling with steaming! LOL! Thanks so much!

[@EmptyHanger]

You're welcome! The more you do it the easier it gets as well. You will get the hang of it!

[@TeAmoCristoJesus]

Hi Jenna; Thank you for all your help. I’m new to Poshmark and a new subscriber to your wonderful channel. 💕

[@misseyespy1]

I just bought a steamer today or I have to give up reselling clothes I am selling nothing amd they look terrible thank you great video thanks for tip

[@yuliyapatlata4975]

Hi Jenna! I came across your channel a few days ago and have been hooked. Your videos are great! Thank you for taking the time to give us so many useful tips! I am a part-time Poshmark seller. So, all the information you have provided has been extremely helpful. In case you are thinking of new video content, there are two topics that I would love to see a video on in the future! First, similar to your video on jean brands, I would love to see a video on band/concert/festival T-shirt and Tank brands to look out for when thrifting. This is definitely one category where my Posh closet is lacking. Second, I would love to see a video addressing what you do when items DON'T sell. I struggle with gauging when it is time to let go of a listing that just won't sell. How long is too long when it comes to hanging on to items? Thank you again! And thank you in advance, if you choose to produce either of my video suggestions! Best, Yuliya

[@juliejimenez9994]

Another amazing video!!! Thank you Jenna!

[@lesamajor6008]

Hi ibask this question before but i can't find it. I just want to know if you just use distilled water all the time ? I still have the steamer getting clogged. I tried boiling the water adding vineger but none work. Because the steamer uses a lot of water. Buying. Distilled gallons can get exspensive.

[@omayraguerra4560]

Learn a lot from your hacks, thanks a lot

[@Jessica-ji1hl]

It's like you read my mind. I just got a steamer because of your use and I'm still figuring it out lol

[@EmptyHanger]

Aw yay! I hope this helps! Also the more you use it the easier it gets :)

[@wendyp8488]

Very helpful video ⭐️ Thank you so much!

[@keinohrtini]

Thanks for this video! I always hear you talk about steaming but it just has not the effect I want ... probably operater error ! 🙄 I will definitely try your hacks!!

[@kayelle8005]

Your hair colour is beautiful

[@Itskey2you]

Who disliked this😡😡👊🏽💥 Lol!! Anywho... I really want one of these but it’s not in the budget at the moment. This way just seems so much easier. Hopefully I can invest in one soon! Thanks for sharing Jenna❤️❤️

[@naturegirl2110]

You can buy a rowenta steamer cheaper

[@cherylontell7201]

Probably the same guy who told me to go steam my stuff in the bathroom while I shower😳 he was rude!

[@bossbaberesale115]

is rowenta better?

[@guineverependragon9804]

Great Jenna! I'm off for a little cutting board later. One thing though; I find residual fragrance to be problematic, those chemicals are unregulated and can be toxic. Have debated whether I can continue reselling with exposure to heavy dryer sheet scents, especially during the steaming process. Personally not a fan of adding any fragrances and believe fragrance-free will be preferred in the future. It's a mask IMO.

[@fizzfizzbang]

Ugh, yes, heavy dryer sheet scent makes me gag and irritates my skin! I see people saying they tuck dryer sheets in their inventory boxes sometimes and I would be so annoyed if I ever got anything from them haha. This spray seems different than that, though. Just a one note, natural scent that's probably just lavender oil (hopefully).

[@f.u.c8308]

Yeah it’s gross when I order clothes from poshmark and they are scented because I know the garment is full of Gross Chemicals

[@deborahshea-nice4379]

Not good for those of us that get migraines....

[@tylerh1897]

Your video is very helpful. Thank you!

[@AshleyWheeler8]

Love these hacks!!!

[@mylifewithdogsdollsanddiys7740]

Thank you so much Jenna..I love all of your videos. And you have taught me so much

[@miawebster2104]

I have been LOVING watching your videos while packaging orders, just an idea: you should start a podcast series about your poshmark journey and tips!

[@byronellis7503]

i guess im asking randomly but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!

[@zaidendeandre5682]

@Byron Ellis Instablaster ;)

[@byronellis7503]

@Zaiden Deandre i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@byronellis7503]

@Zaiden Deandre it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my ass !

[@zaidendeandre5682]

@Byron Ellis You are welcome :)

[@johnw9177]

I use a Ruwenta valet. Love it! But, it’s hard to get my shirts as “tight” as I like. I may add the IXEO.

[@muireannin09]

Jenna-LOVE your videos! What background do you use for your clothes on hangers? Looks like you only use white hangers too? Would love to see a video in backgrounds for clothing pix. 😘🤗

[@CaramelCrown04]

Thank you! ❤

[@bwwgwsz]

I just bought a steamer today then get on KZbin and this is the first thing I see!!!!!

[@kadmta1]

Thanks for the tips girl😀... very helpful😀❤️😀❤️

[@glindabustamante447]

Thank you SO much, so so helpful!!! I'm doing the cutting board one for sure!

[@mwallace2337]

SUPER HELPFUL!!! Thanks so much!

[@Ms.MD7]

I freaking love my Jiffy and we have the same one! If anyone worked retail, they'll understand lol I definitely do the steaming inside and use velvet hanger

[@EmptyHanger]

Yes! It is the best!

[@lynntezanos947]

Thanks for the helpful tips! I really enjoy your channel. Tfs💕💕💕

[@theassassinnox]

Great video, thank you! I love that I was looking for tips/a refresher cause it's been a while....and I have the same steamer as you. Super convenient. :)

[@TianoSal]

Hi Jenna Are you no longer making videos? You have taught me everything I know about Poshmark. Missing you!!!

[@amandarachael]

Just found ur channel recently and you are awesome! Thanks so much for all your helpful info! Hoping to start selling on poshmark soon to start earning an income.

[@whitneyramirez1866]

Great video! Have you ever noticed the jiffy spray leaving any spotting/staining behind?

[@jessicaoflaherty4440]

Love💕👗 You just changed my life!

[@EmptyHanger]

Woo glad I could help!

[@Fabulousstyle21]

Thanks! The clip tip is genius!

[@bluemulemovers7305]

haha this is so soothing to watch!

[@Huaihaizi]

this is the second video I watched on steaming... still not getting it T.T

[@tacobelle69]

It’s because she always has a top of the line steamer...

[@cazjr1798]

When she put the chopping board under the shirt collar and went over it 3 or 4 times, I'm thinking "yeah, whole shirt would've been ironed by now"... 🤷‍♀️

[@chiquitalatinafun]

Some great tips!!

[@greengrannyresell2955]

Thank you so much for the steaming hacks!! Awesome ✌❤

[@bbrichter]

I've been hoping you'd do a streaming video, yay! Now I can get those hems without burning my fingers! 😉

[@EmptyHanger]

Yay! Gotta be careful with the fingers!

[@suzybeach5735]

I'm a new subscriber - Thanks! Love all the good info !

[@MrSiin]

Sold I’m getting a steamer

[@karencurry6777]

Great tips!

[@ruthanneism]

lots of great tips here! Thanks

[@fizzfizzbang]

Are there fabrics you shouldn't steam at all? Like stuff that says dry clean only or cashmere/silk? Or is it ok since they aren't actually getting fully wet? Thanks for this video! I'm going to order the lavender spray. :D

[@bambiluong9759]

great tip .thank you

[@jerryburdett2596]

Thanks. You are Great

[@treasurefacts2654]

Big help, thanks!

[@johnparkerzabala]

Amazing and relaxing

[@Sbannmarie]

GREAT video thank you.

[@joanlorden6679]

Great video!

[@edbreedon9456]

Thank you

[@mayflowerthreads]

Great tips! Do you empty the water after each use or leave it? Thx 💕

[@cjoiner72]

Emptying the water is not required unless you will be storing the unit for more than 2 weeks. Thanks!

[@honeybadgernasty]

@ByeBitch 《 I agree with plain water out of the faucet bc I left the water in the tank for a while and it got slimy...haven't tried the distilled water trick mentioned in this video...Wonder if it's different...

[@daphnesgaray]

Awesome tips! Thank you

[@danzusername]

Nice t-hirt!

[@AteJooh]

Do you wash your inventory before listing? Thank you

[@CiciMunchkinnXD]

I believe this would take the place of washing, I have gone the washing route after selling items and have ruined them. So I think ill be buying a steamer.

[@jensmultiverse]

I love your channel and every video you put out!!! But girl, you look tired. Make sure you're not over working and getting plenty of rest! Thanks for all your help 💝

[@michellegousios566]

Hi Jenna I wanted to purchase this stranger but I was just wondering what the difference is with the metal head and plastic head. Is the one with plastic head good? Thanks

[@annmarievachon2542]

I just bought a steamer! This was awesome information. Thanks always for great content🙂

[@EmptyHanger]

Awesome!! You're welcome :)

[@AshleyWheeler8]

I’d still love to see you steam coats and jeans

[@KetogenicKim]

Just be careful if you're doing a suit jacket, men's or women's. The lining may separate. Just be aware and make sure to check the care tag label because usually it will say to the dry cleaners do not Steam 👍

[@Coco_Love]

I was just wondering that. How is it on blue jeans and blue jean jackets

[@annedarr1894]

Thank you so much

[@metalgirl3s]

Luv this and all ur videos. tyty. Just wonder if using a long small oven mitt would work too?

[@honeybadgernasty]

Yes! Great idea! I have a silicone one and will give it a try 🙂

[@sangdessin]

But don’t forget. The most important is to have a GOOD steamer.
