Singer Home Essentials irons are designed to be used with regular tap water.•
If your water is especially hard or if you use a water softener, try using •
inexpensive bottled spring water.
Never use water with additives, including scents, starches, or fabric •
conditioners, as they can cause deposits to form in the iron that can stain
clothing.
