An electric clothes valet is used to warm clothes before dressing; it includes a timer to prevent overheating. Floor-standing clothes steamers can also have a fixed clothes hanger so that they can function as a combined clothes steamer and men's valet. A valet rod is a pipe shaped clothes valet which protrudes from a cabinet or similar, and is used as a compact clothes valet.
