We daily receive questions about whether our Pilo Fabric Shaver should be used on sensitive fabrics, stitching parts, and around zippers and buttons. The plain answer is yes! You can use your Pilo on all of your garments if you use the device correctly. You can indeed use it in tricky areas like around zippers and buttons – just be a little extra cautious. It is difficult to provide any guarantees since accidents may always occur.
Behind the external blade protector, three sharp razor blades are rotating. Since the precision razor blades are this powerful, no pressure against the fabric is needed. Swipe the Pilo gently across the fabric. Start easy and light-handed, and then if required, add a little pressure successively - please note that you should never push or press the Pilo against the fabric. It might get stuck inside the razor blades if you add too much pressure against the fabric. The consequence could be that the fabric gets damaged. We do not want this! Please note that Steamery will not take responsibility for these kinds of damages or accidents.
As mentioned, we do consider that our Pilo can be used on any fabric or garment - although we can not stress enough the importance of doing it right. As long as the Pilo is not pushed roughly or pressed hard against the fabric, it won't do any harm. Another critical thing to keep in mind is to always use the Pilo on a garment lying on a flat, steady surface. Do not use the fabric shaver on anything you are wearing.
