The Speedypress 55cm Compact Steam Ironing Press is designed to make ironing faster, easier, and more efficient than a traditional iron. With a large pressing surface and powerful steam performance, this ironing press delivers consistent, professional results while reducing ironing time. Ideal as a clothes press, garment press, or steam press for both home and light commercial use.
Unlike a standard iron, this clothes press provides a wide, flat pressing surface combined with even pressure across the fabric. This helps remove creases more effectively and produces crisp, professional-looking results every time.
With a 55cm x 22cm pressing area, this large ironing press covers significantly more fabric in one press. This reduces ironing time by up to 75%, making it ideal for handling regular or larger laundry loads quickly and efficiently.
The built-in steam system, including a powerful burst function, helps tackle stubborn creases with ease. This improves the overall finish and makes ironing thicker or layered fabrics more manageable.
Designed for everyday practicality, the Speedypress ironing press features simple controls, a clear LED indicator, and one-handed operation. The pressure-sensitive handle applies consistent pressure with minimal effort, helping reduce strain on wrists, arms, and shoulders.
This garment press includes adjustable temperature settings suitable for:
cotton, linen, wool, silk, polyester and delicate fabrics.
It also allows multiple layers of fabric to be pressed at once while protecting more delicate materials.

Is an ironing press faster than using a conventional iron?
Yes. Because the pressing plate is significantly larger than a standard iron, you can press more fabric in one motion. Many customers report reducing their ironing time by up to 75%, particularly when ironing items such as shirts, trousers, sheets, and duvet covers.
Are ironing presses easy to use?
Yes. Most people find an ironing press simple to operate after a short period of practice. Place the garment on the pressing surface, lower the handle, and allow the press to apply heat and pressure to remove wrinkles. The large pressing area and even pressure make it easier to achieve consistent results.
Can I iron shirts with an ironing press?
Yes. Shirts are one of the most common items pressed with an ironing press. Once you become familiar with the technique, an everyday shirt can usually be pressed in around 1–2 minutes, making ironing much quicker than using a traditional iron.
Can a steam ironing press also be used as a dry press?
Yes. All steam ironing presses can also be used as dry presses without adding water. Some users prefer dry pressing for lightly creased garments or when fabrics are slightly damp.
What fabrics can be pressed with an ironing press?
Ironing presses can safely be used on a wide range of fabrics when the correct temperature setting is selected, including:
Cotton
Linen
Wool
Polyester
Silk
Nylon
Always select the appropriate temperature setting for the fabric you are pressing.
Can an ironing press press multiple layers of fabric?
Yes. Many fabrics allow multiple layers to be pressed at the same time, which helps reduce ironing time. In many cases, up to four layers can be pressed simultaneously, depending on the fabric type and thickness.
Do I need a stand for an ironing press?
A stand is not essential. Most ironing presses can be used on a stable table or work surface. However, many people choose a stand because it provides a comfortable working height and additional stability while pressing.
Do ironing presses use more electricity than a regular iron?
No. Most ironing presses use a similar amount of energy to a conventional iron. Because they press garments more quickly, they are often used for less time, which can help reduce overall energy usage.
How long should the press be closed when pressing garments?
In most cases, 2–4 seconds of pressing is enough to remove creases. Thicker fabrics may require slightly longer. The exact pressing time depends on the fabric type, thickness, and temperature setting.
How much pressure does an ironing press apply?
When the handle is fully lowered, many ironing presses apply up to 100 lbs of even pressure across the garment. This consistent pressure helps remove wrinkles efficiently and produces crisp, professional-looking results.
How should I store my ironing press?
Most ironing presses include a locking mechanism that keeps the plates closed when not in use. This allows the press to be stored safely either flat or upright, helping save space in cupboards or storage areas.
