Question from Jen
Hi Debra, I got a new Black & Decker steam iron (considered Rowenta that you recommended but on Amazon the reviews were just as good). Its very capable and I like using it since I air dry my clothes now because of the bounce-fabric-softener contaminated dryers downstairs. However, some shirts, soft cottons, seem to absorb a metal smell from the iron. Its really unpleasant. Any thoughts about this? I wonder what the water is held in, inside. Maybe it is aluminum or something.
I’m going to contact B&D myself and complain as I can’t stand that metal smell, and even my boyfriend who is not chemically sensitive noticed it.
Debra’s Answer
I don’t know anything about this. Contact the manufacturer.
