I use an empty liquid coffee creamer container to fill my iron. Just wash it well before using for water. It works great. I got the hint on this site I believe.

I use an old dish soap bottle. It also works great!!

I found a coffee creamer plastic bottle (32oz size) is great also. Has a nice lid that snaps and I've not had any spills. Thanks for the other hints as well.

I just keep a measuring cup of water by my iron. Because it has a spout lip, it pours great and I don't have to buy something special. i don't find filling my iron to be too challenging :-))

I use a 12oz diet pepsi plastic bottle. I have to replace it every so often as Sparta (kitten) likes to use them as toys and will bat it off the shelf onto the floor so he can chase it.

I sad it has water in it silly for my iron-why else would it be in here for? it's not like I'm sneaking it! he got a sheepish look on his face and just said OH.

This is what I use too. I have to big Creamora brand bottle and it works so well you would think that is what it was made for.

It also keeps the dust and lint out of the water.
