White stuff coming out of my iron

How do I stop the white stuff coming out of my iron when I use it?  What is it?  How often do you clean your iron and with what?

Re: White stuff coming out of my iron

  • It's probably mineral build up.  Do you have hard water where you are?

    Some ideas are to both empty the water chamber completely after using each time, and possibly to run a "steam" cycle with a little bit of vinegar in it to help clean out the holes from the inside. 

  • that happened to me too. Luckily it was a cheaper iron, and I couldnt get the mineral deposits off, so I had to get a new one. After that point I only use distilled water from a 2 gallon jug for ironing.
