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.
I don't use water in the iron - haven't for a long time. I use a spray bottle. I'll try it with vinegar and water next time.
