Wikipedia
steam iron
A clothes iron (also flatiron, smoothing iron, or simply iron) is a small appliance that, when heated, is used to press clothes to remove wrinkles and unwanted creases. Domestic irons generally range in operating temperature from between 121 °C (250 °F) to 182 °C (360 °F). It is named for the metal (iron) of which the device was historically made, and the use of it is generally called ironing, the final step in the process of laundering clothes. Ironing works by loosening the ties between the long chains of molecules that exist in polymer fiber materials. With the heat and the weight of the ironing plate, the fibers are stretched and the fabric maintains its new shape when cool. Some materials, such as cotton, require the use of water to loosen the intermolecular bonds.

steam iron
A steam iron is a type of electrical appliance used to press clothes to remove wrinkles. By heating water into steam within its internal compartment, the steam iron produces moist heat that softens the fabric, making it easier to flatten and smooth. It typically features options to adjust temperature according to different fabric types, a steam control function and a spray or burst function to tackle stubborn creases.
