We have well water.
Well water has minerals.
And if you ignore the advice of people who grew up with well water and use it (instead of buying distilled water) in your iron, in time it will cease to hold water for the steam function.
Trust me on that one.
So I now have an iron that heats very nicely, but refuses to steam. I spent a little bit at Target looking at irons yesterday. I thought it would be like my college days where I go in, have two to three choices, and then I grab one of the shelf. hahahahaha. There were probably 20 choices of irons. Yes, twenty. Can you believe that? And the prices ranged from $9 all the way to $60! I looked, compared prices and features, then came home without one. Buying an iron should not feel like car shopping. I should not need to read reports and features to buy a simple, solid iron that will steam clothes while I starch them without clogging and heat properly. Is it really that difficult? And then I look at a sales flyer for JoAnns. IRONS COST $140 on sale!!! REALLY?!
So if you see my husband wearing slightly wrinkled shirts, you'll know I've just given up on the whole starch thing.

LOL! I hate ironing but I do love our iron. We registered for it at Target over 11 years ago and got it for a wedding gift. It cost only $40 and is still going strong...maybe because I don't use it terribly much. Once a week, maybe. I like to iron everything at once and then not think about it for a whole week.
I don't iron unless I absolutely have too, so if my family looks wrinkled, you know why!! I went a few weeks ago for something and found out the same thing....there were tons to choose from!! I can't remember what I was looking for....probably because I came home empty handed as well
