Now, find the water tank. This is usually a little plastic window on the front or top of the iron, often with a flip-up lid or a tiny trapdoor. If you’re squinting and turning the iron upside down, you’re doing it wrong—the tank is not the hole where the steam comes out, unless you enjoy ironing with a fountain.
Look for a symbol of a water droplet or the word “H₂O” printed nearby. It feels like a treasure hunt, except the treasure is moisture for your wrinkled shirts. You got this.
