Reliable Corp. professional ironing and fabric-care product manufacturer will unveil a new steam iron that incorporates the company’s CSS (continuous steam system) technology at the International Home & Housewares Show.

The CSS system is said to provide a continuous flow of pressurized, dry steam that works steam into the fabric faster, cutting ironing time in half, according to the company.

Additionally, the new iron is the first system equipped with an Anti-Calc Warning System that works based on the hardness of the water being used, according to the company. This system alerts users when minerals in the water have built up and might clog the inside of the unit. Specifically, users program the boiler with the level of hardness of water being used (based on the litmus paper supplied), and the system will automatically let them know when it’s time to use the supplied de-scaling powder.

The unit has a $349.00 retail price.

Reliable also will introduce the Pantman, which is described as a fresh, modern take on the traditional pants press.

Regardless of fabric or style, the end-user loads both pant legs onto the unit, and the pants are pressed automatically in about 15 minutes the company said. Additionally, the press is equipped with an auto shut off to prevent overheating and has an extra wide pressing area to accommodate pants of all shapes and sizes.

The press retails for $149.00
