Iron care
A quick tip – If you have a steam iron, good luck finding distilled water for it in Mexico, unless you live in a big city. Fortunately, I’ve found that reverse-osmosis purified water seems to work just as well. My over-20-year-old iron is still doing fine after four years here, with heavier use than it ever got in the states due to not having a dryer and having time to sew again. Beware of faucet filters that are not RO; they don’t remove the problem-causing minerals.
