Now, take your water and tilt the iron slightly—like a gentle pour into a delicate teacup, not a fire hose. Aim for the opening of the tank, and slowly pour. If you sprint-pour, you’ll get water everywhere, and then you’ll have to iron the floor to dry it, and that’s a whole new level of adulting.
Stop filling when you see the water level reach the “max” line. Overfilling is like wearing socks with sandals—it just doesn’t work, and water will leak out the steam vents when you heat it. Trust me, no one wants a soggy lap during ironing.
