When buying a steam iron, you should pay attention to things such as power (watts of the device), type of floor (ceramic, steel or titanium), weight of the device, ability to produce vertical steam, capacity of the water tank, and features such as automatic shutdown.

Always fill the water tank with clean water and use distilled or deionized water. Also, clean the soleplate of the iron regularly so that there is no dirt or stain left.

It is better to use distilled water or lightened water to avoid deposits in the tank and steam ducts.

Yes, empty the water tank regularly, descaling the machine and avoid leaving water in the tank for a long time.

If the steam output is reduced, white or yellow stains remain on the clothes, or an unpleasant smell is produced, the machine probably needs descaling.
