I found a Rowenta at a yard sale that had quite a build up on the sole plate but my DH said he could clean it. The lady sold it to me for $1. I tried to use steam once and it leaked so now I just use a squirt bottle for steam pressing and I unplug after using but I need to look into a surge protector. That way I can just flip the switch unstead of pulling on the plug which is somewhat hard to do the RA
