Ah, I just love infomercials that sound exciting. Truth is, I bought this out of pure curiosity and then tossed it out. Why did I toss it out? Well... it left dry water spots on white clothes and small dark spots on dark clothes. It irritates me that people who invent stuff like Mr. Steamy, make it seem that laundry will be done in a better manner. The infomercial is deceiving or maybe m Mr. Steamy was broken somehow... but also think of this... you are putting "dirty" water to steam clean clothes. With a washer, there is a filter before the water goes into the washing machine. The filter connected to the hose, before the valve collects debris (rocks and such) as well as soil/dirt. You would be AMAZED what a filter net looks like after three months. We actually change our filters every two months because the water flows better and it eliminates problems in the future.

In all honesty, Mr. Steamy doesn't make sense to me and I don't see the need for it. Want clothes to come out wrinkle free? That is easy. Want clothes to come out fluffy? Easy as well.
Here are a few tips:

- To keep clothes wrinkly free, remove the light weight clothes (button downs, thin cotton t-shirts, etc) out of the dryer before the dryer finishes. If they are a bit damp, let them air dry and by the time your heavy clothes dry, the light weight clothes will be dry. This will also eliminate shrinkage as well as wear and tear.

- To achieve the fluffiness in your clothes, add an extra cup of softener in the final rinse cycle of the washer. By adding the recommended cup, the dryer “burns out” the softener, especially if you have the dryer on hot. If you want, you can use the Bounce dryer sheets or any other brand. I am not a big fan of dryer sheets because it isn’t that great for your skin. Plus people put more sheets then they are supposed to and then they wonder why they are itching…

To conclude this, Mr. Steamy isn’t all that great it is made out to be. If you are curious like I was, go ahead and buy it… maybe it will work out for you but I am sticking to my tips!

Oh! I am going to assume that the person, who created this invention, is a fan of McSteamy from Grey’s Anatomy… Mr. Steamy minus the “Mc”… do you see it too or is it just me…?
