Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Laurastar so different from a regular steam iron?

Laurastar systems use a separate boiler to generate high-pressure, ultra-fine Dry Steam. Unlike the wet steam from conventional irons, this powerful dry steam penetrates deep into fibers to relax them completely, setting a perfect press without making the fabric damp. This prevents wrinkles from reappearing and provides a truly long-lasting, professional finish.

What is the difference between the “All-In-One Ironing Stations” and the “Lift” models?

The primary difference is integration and portability:

All-In-One Stations (e.g., Smart U, Go+): These are complete systems featuring an “active” ironing board with blower and vacuum functions, integrated with a powerful steam generator. They are the ultimate solution for a dedicated sewing room, providing unparalleled efficiency and results. The active board helps position fabric and prevent unwanted creases.

Lift Models (e.g., Lift Plus, Life Xtra): These are portable 3-in-1 steam generators. The iron is connected to a compact boiler unit that you can carry. They are incredibly versatile, allowing for traditional horizontal ironing on any surface as well as vertical steaming of garments or quilts on a wall.

The descriptions mention “purifying” fabrics. What does that mean?

Laurastar’s high-pressure Dry Steam is heated to a temperature that eliminates over 99.9% of germs, viruses, and dust mites from your fabrics without the use of any chemicals. This is a natural, hygienic way to sanitize textiles, making it perfect for baby clothes, bedding, refreshing garments between washes, and for anyone with allergies. This same sanitizing power is a key feature in many high-end vacuum cleaners.

Do I need to use special water or filters with my Laurastar system?

While Laurastar systems are designed to be used with regular tap water, we highly recommend using the Laurastar Purify Anti-Scale Cartridges. These cartridges filter minerals from the water before it enters the boiler, preventing limescale buildup. Using the filters is essential for protecting your investment, ensuring consistent steam performance, and extending the life of your machine.

Are these systems a good investment for a serious quilter or garment maker?

Absolutely. For quilters, the ability to create perfectly flat seams and blocks without stretching the fabric is invaluable. For garment makers, the powerful steam and professional soleplate allow for flawless collars, cuffs, and delicate fabrics. A Laurastar system is a significant upgrade that brings the quality of your finished projects to a new level, matching the precision of your high-end sewing and quilting machines.

These are premium systems. Do you offer any payment options?

Yes, we understand this is a significant investment in your craft. We offer several financing and leasing options to help make owning a Laurastar system more accessible. You can learn more about the available plans on our financing page.
