you can mix 50% water with 50% vinager let it set in the iron overnight then turn it on and let the steam run out.What happens is the inside of the iron where the water is had corroded or rusted or has lime deposits.the vineger will break this loose overnight.also after you let the iron steam out all the mixture,flush the iron 4 to 5 times and start using fresh water from a store bought gallon.your tap water is probably full of iron. Try using distilled water Instead of regular bottled or tap
Are you using bottled water or distilled water? Distilled water has the minerals removed, bottled water sometimes has them added. Most likely you are seeing mineral deposits that are pushed out with the steam, like lime. You can clean your iron with white vinegar and water just like a coffee maker. Then be sure to use distilled water.
