If you forget to unplug and pour water into a hot iron—congratulations, you’ve made a steam bomb. Step back. Let it calm down. It might hiss like a cat. That’s fine. It won’t explode (probably).
If you accidentally fill the iron with coffee instead of water? Don’t laugh. It happens. Pour it out immediately. Rinse the tank with tap water three times. Then make peace with your iron. It tastes betrayal.
And if your iron starts leaving brown spots? That’s mineral buildup from tap water. Get a self-cleaning iron or use a vinegar solution (half vinegar, half water). Fill it, heat it, let it steam itself clean. Then rinse with distilled. You’re welcome.
