Ah, the little holes on the bottom. They get clogged with burnt mineral deposits and make your iron spit brown water. The fix is almost too easy: fill the water tank halfway with equal parts white vinegar and water.
Plug the iron in, set it to high steam, and hold it over an old towel. Let it blast steam for a good five minutes. The vinegar cleans the internal channels. Your iron will scream clouds of clean steam like a happy little dragon.
Then empty the tank, refill with plain water, and steam again to rinse. The first time you see clear, pure steam rising, you’ll feel a rush of domestic victory. It’s a tiny triumph—but a real one.
