A hand held appliance for use in applying steam to a garment or other item made of fabric includes a pump, a boiler and a switch. Power is applied through the switch to the pump. The pump pumps water from the water tank to the boiler. The water is converted to steam in the boiler and is expelled from the appliance through a set of nozzles. The appliance may include optional attachments for performing other operations on garments or fabric, for example, applying pressure, brushing, scrubbing or lint removal.

What we claim is: 1. A hand-held garment steamer comprising a head portion; an elongated handle being connected to and extending from said head portion; a soleplate being disposed on an outer surface of said head portion, said soleplate having a heat conductive surface; a reservoir for containing liquid therein, said reservoir being attached to said head portion; a steam generator, in fluid communication with said reservoir, for generating steam from said liquid contained in said reservoir; a plurality of apertures being disposed in said soleplate and in communication with said steam generator for facilitating a discharge of the steam generated by said steam generator from said steamer; and an attachment removably connected to said head portion and covering, at least partially, said soleplate. 2. The steamer of claim 1, wherein said attachment is selected from the group consisting of a fabric brush, a fabric comb, a lint remover, and any combinations thereof. 3. A hand-held garment steamer comprising a head portion; an elongated handle being connected to and extending from said head portion; a soleplate being disposed on an outer surface of said head portion, said soleplate having a heat conductive surface; a reservoir for containing liquid therein, said reservoir being attached to said head portion; a steam generator, in fluid communication with said reservoir, for generating steam from said liquid contained in said reservoir; and a plurality of apertures being disposed in said soleplate and in communication with said steam generator for facilitating a discharge of the steam generated by said steam generator from said steamer, wherein said reservoir is removably connected to said head portion. 4. The steamer of claim 3, further comprising a reservoir release for selectively releasing said reservoir from said head portion. 5. The steamer of claim 3 further comprising a reservoir release for selectively releasing said reservoir from said head portion. 6. The steamer of claim 5, wherein said thermostatic control includes a manually adjusted control. 7. A hand-held garment steamer comprising: a head portion: an elongated handle being connected to and extending from said head portion; a soleplate being disposed on an outer surface of said head portion, said soleplate having a heat conductive surface; a reservoir for containing liquid therein, said reservoir being attached to said head portion; a steam generator, in fluid communication with said reservoir, for generating steam from said liquid contained in said reservoir; a plurality of apertures being disposed in said soleplate and in communication with said steam generator for facilitating a discharge of the steam generated by said steam generator from said steamer; and a thermostatic control for controlling a temperature range at which said steam is generated wherein said thermostatic control controls a rate of delivery for said generated steam. 8. The steamer of claim 7 wherein said thermostatic control controls a rate of steam generation for said generated steam. 9. A hand-held garment steamer comprising: a head portion; an elongated handle being connected to and extending from said head portion; a soleplate being disposed on an outer surface of said head portion, said soleplate having a heat conductive surface; a reservoir for containing liquid therein, said reservoir being attached to said head portion; a steam generator, in fluid communication with said reservoir, for generating steam from said liquid contained in said reservoir; a plurality of apertures being disposed in said soleplate and in communication with said steam generator for facilitating a discharge of the steam generated by said steam generator from said steamer; and a heat shield for removable attachment to said soleplate, said heat shield being resistant to conducting heat from said soleplate. 10. A hand-held garment steamer comprising: a head portion; an elongated handle being connected to and extending from said head portion; a soleplate being disposed on an outer surface of said head portion, said soleplate having a heat conductive surface; a reservoir for containing liquid therein, said reservoir being attached to said head portion; a steam generator, in fluid communication with said reservoir, for generating steam from said liquid contained in said reservoir; and a plurality of apertures being disposed in said soleplate and in communication with said steam generator for facilitating a discharge of the steam generated by said steam generator from said steamer; wherein said steamer is operable by at least two power supplies having differing voltage outputs. 11. A hand-held garment steamer comprising: a head portion; an elongated handle being connected to and extending from said head portion; a soleplate being disposed on an outer surface of said head portion, said soleplate having a heat conductive surface; a reservoir for containing liquid therein, said reservoir being attached to said head portion; a steam generator, in fluid communication with said reservoir, for generating steam from said liquid contained in said reservoir; and a plurality of apertures being disposed in said soleplate and in communication with said steam generator for facilitating a discharge of the steam generated by said steam generator from said steamer; and a steam discharge actuator for selectively controlling the discharge of the steam from said steamer wherein said discharge actuator is disposed on said handle.
