Further to my question on my iron not working, I thought I would try a soultion of white vinegar and water, so 20ml of vinegar and half a tank of water and one large bath towel, I held the iron over the towel and pressed the steam button until the iron was empty, out came some brown fluff, I then repeated the process just with tap water and my iron is now working. So Dave, I am so glad I did not take your advice about putting it in the bin.
