Abstract: A steam sprayer is used in ironing textile products, including clothes. The steam sprayer is user-friendly and offers highly effective ironing. A vaporizing chamber generates steam by vaporizing water stored in a tank. A water-supplying unit supplies the vaporizing chamber with the water. A steam-ejecting section spouts the steam outside. The steams-ejecting section includes a ironing surface with high frictional resistance characteristics. When touching the ironing surface to clothes or other fabrics for ironing, a pulling force is caused by the frictional resistance, which is a preferable wrinkles-off effect. Thus, the steam sprayer offers a synergistic effect brought by spouting the steam and applying the pulling force to clothes, thereby neatly fixing the form of clothes.
