The last steam iron I threw out, rusted from the inside and spit tiny rusted metal pieces all over my quilt top. I don't put water in my irons anymore, tap water here in Texas has a lot of lime in it.

I, too, no longer put water in my iron.
For the spots, try a paste of dishwasher powder and water or use the liquid/gel stuff that is out now. I have used it for everything from rust stains to ink on DH's best shirts and it works for me.
