TEFAL Tefal Care For You YT4050 Automatic Clothes Steamer System

Revolutionising the clothing care game

Tefal’s first automatic clothes steamer, Care For You uses all-natural steam power to reduce creases, sanitise, and dry your clothes for you – so you don’t have to. Ever woken up to find the day’s outfit looking more wrinkled than ready? This one’s for you. Just hang up to three pieces of clothing inside and in 10 minutes they’ll be crease-free! Giving you more time to enjoy your breakfast or take a shower. Care For You will also clean your clothes after a busy day. Its sanitising steam kills 99.99% of viruses, bacteria, and germs1 while banishing odours, all without any detergent. It’s great for getting rid of daily wear smells, like smoke or fried food, or breathing life into clothes between washes. And, because steaming puts less stress on fabrics, you’ll find your clothes last longer. Don’t risk delicate items in the dryer. Using gentle steam, Care For You dries without damage. No shrinking, no burning, and no need for a dry-cleaner. That’ll save you time and money. It’s also safe for treating household textiles that won’t fit in the dryer, like pillows or pet beds. It's simple to use, silent to run and, with four wheels and a lighter, more compact2 design, a cinch to store. Plus, being 96% recyclable and up to 30% more energy efficient3, it’s a sustainable alternative to traditional ironing. All this and it’s repairable for 15 years.
