Problem Cause Solution
Wet spots appear
on the fabric during
ironing.
The wet spots that appear on the fabric
after you have steam ironed for some
time may be caused by steam that has
condensed onto the ironing board. Iron
the wet spots without steam for some
time to dry them. If the underside of the
ironing board is wet, wipe it with a piece
of dry cloth.
To prevent steam from condensing
onto the ironing board, use an
ironing board with a wire mesh top.
