An iron is an indispensable household appliance that makes the process of caring for shirts and trousers easier.
But many people pour tap water into the iron. This is a mistake that can damage the equipment and reduce its service life.
The problem is that such water contains many elements that lead to the formation of scale.
It is worth noting that in a hardware store you can buy special water for an iron, which definitely does not contain any elements harmful to the equipment, and it also does not leave marks on things after ironing.
If you don't want to look for a special product, it's best to pour filtered water into the iron. It is cleared of salts, which means it won't harm the device.
It is also important to remember that only cold water should be poured into the iron.
Don't think that hot liquid will speed up or make the ironing process easier. In this case, you can only ruin the equipment.
