I thought for certain I'd have to buy another one. My maxiglide was clogged and wouldn't steam. I realize now it's because I used filtered water instead of distilled.
I tried changing the water and cleaning it, but it was really stuck. I thought about using some lime away, but it said it couldn't be used in steam irons. I guessed that was what I maxiglide was. But I wondered, so I looked it up and found out that "steam iron" meant clothes iron. Irons get stuck like this all the time and there was a home remedy to get the unclogged. So I mixed one half distilled water and one half white vinegar in the water vessel. I was suppose to heat it up and let it steam burst, but nothing would come out. So I put it away and forgot about it for over a week. I came back today and heated it up for the heck of it. And it works! It steams again! Now I don't have to buy a new one yet!
