A steamer head for use with a steaming system for cleaning or smoothing fabric surfaces. The steamer head comprises a housing having a plurality of branches that extend between a base region and a front applicator face. The branches are disposed at an angle relative to each other so that they radiate outwardly from the base region in a fan shape. An inlet in a rear wall of housing is used to connect the steamer head to a hose extending outwardly from a remote steam-containing reservoir. An interior cavity is formed in the base region of the housing and is operationally connected to a bore in the inlet and thereby to the hose. Each of the branches includes a chamber that arises in the interior cavity and terminates in an outlet formed in the front applicator face. One or more of the branches and the chambers therein preferably are oriented so that they are disposed at an angle other than ninety degrees to the front applicator face. As a consequence, steam flowing from the hose, through the interior cavity and the chambers is emitted from the outlets at an angle other than ninety degrees to the front applicator face. The steam therefore fans outwardly away from the front applicator face.
