An Inventive Home Appliance
Making Use of the Sprinkler
The technique of using the sprinkler was straightforward but rewarding. The sprinkler was heated on the stove or close to a flame after being filled with water and making sure the cork stopper was tight. A light pressure developed as the water turned to steam, ready to revitalize clothes that were wrinkly.
Improving the Experience of Ironing
When the cork stopper was removed, a little hiss indicated that everything was ready. Just before ironing, gently squeeze the metal body to release a fine mist of hot water onto clothing, which relaxed fabric fibers and efficiently removed creases.
An Experience with the Senses
The sprinkler was a sensory delight in addition to being useful. The introspective ironing routine, typically linked to special occasions and maternal care, was enhanced by the comforting scent of moistened fabric, the warmth of steam, and the hiss of calming steam.
