The Art of Ironing

[frigilux]

Buffster, Gansky and other Rowenta fans: I loved my Rowenta iron. It felt great in the hand, glided as if on air and the cord stayed out of my way. It produced a lot of steam. But it kept staining my shirts from 'spitting'. It really started to drive me nuts, so I threw it out.

Was my iron a lemon? I was using spring water (as instructed by Rowenta) and cleaned it all the time. Have any of you other Rowenta users had trouble with spitting?

Yes, with several different versions of Rowenta...

And sometimes the stains were brownish, and hard to get off cotton broadcloth afterwards (it seemed like the slightest bit of heat just set the stains, before I'd notice)...
