Battle Axe (Marcia) Their irons are still sold under the Maytag name. Sorry about your iron problems. Hope it can be fixed. My iron says use only tap water and if you prefer to use distilled water to only use it every other time. Is bottled drinking water considered the same as using tap water in an iron? I can't imagine using my tap water. It tastes nasty and sure nothing like spring water. I normally use Best Press but tried water in this new iron and I like how it works. It has the vertical steam feature and I'd like to use water in it for that purpose. I don't know what you use to clean it, but I remember we used to clean the iron then we ironed over wax paper as the last part of cleaning it.
