Yes! I learned to check wattage. One tip I picked up from this board and it works for me. When I have to iron wrinkles out, I have a spray bottle. I use white distilled vinegar and distilled water. 1/4 cup vinegar to 20 oz bottle of water. If you need more then so be it. One thing I've done for years and picked the habit up when I worked in the salon, I unplugged the power strip and the cord was where I could see it. Don't have to worry if anything is on when you're not in the room and if anything gets knocked over you're in good.
