Iron: pour out water after each use?
#13
I've read it and I dont do it. It may set in there over night and thats about it. Mine gets used daily so theres no reason to dump it. However if I'm going to be gone for a few days I do empty. But I also unplug everything in my sewing room.

Every iron I have ever had said to not leave water sit in it when not in use. The one time I forgot (I wasn't quilting, so not using often), when I did use it, it spit rusty water on my clothes. It was a mess.

I have a rowenta and I never empty it. I use it daily and the water never has a chance to sit. I use half spring water and half distilled. Not sure why...I was wondering why the other day when I was mixing the two gallon jugs.
