It leaks water when I iron sometimes staining my clothes with black streaks or water stains.
Hello :
1:Clean your steam iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Your
iron is more likely to leak when it has not been cleaned properly.
Plus, the water that leaks from a steam iron that hasn't been cleaned
will likely be dirty and stain your fabric. Every steam iron brand is
different, so be sure to check the manual that came with your iron or
browse the manufacturer's website for instructions on keeping your steam
iron in good working order.
2:Use your steam iron on a rigid surface like an ironing board. In a rush,
you might be tempted to quickly iron a blouse or pants on the nearest
available surface like a bed, carpet or even on a table with a towel
draped over it. However, these surfaces may not provide the proper
amount of level padding for successful steam ironing, and leaks are more
likely to occur. Take the time to set up your ironing board for smooth
steam ironing to reduce water leaks on a bumpy surface.
3:Allow your steam iron to heat fully in the upright position before
ironing. Because your steam iron is designed to convert water into steam
that will easily smooth out wrinkles on bulky fabrics, you can avoid
leaks by ensuring your iron has time to get the water to the correct
temperature. If you lay your steam iron in the horizontal position too
quickly, water that is not hot enough to convert to steam will leak.
Give the iron a chance to heat up, and then test your steam function on
your ironing board cover or spare fabric swatch before tacking your
favorite blouse.
4:Turn off the steam function on your iron when ironing at lower
temperatures. Since your iron's steam function is designed to convert
the water in your iron to steam at the right temperature, lower iron
temperatures can cause water to leak if your steam setting is still
activated. For ironing more delicate fabrics, turn off the steam to
avoid water leaks.
