Me steaming - Iron Not!!!!!

[Moneypennygb]

Can anyone recommend something I can put through the steamer bit of my iron as had to do a three hour iron yesterday with no steam. I think it is blocked and thought someone might know some miracle combination of vinegar/baby oil/baking powder handed down through the generations rescue plan. Any help gratefully received as sitting in today waiting for new oven to be delivered (broke two weeks ago) and central heating engineer (no temperature control so either on full bung or not at all, very cost effective)watching the TV that has a purple and green strip through it. Oh the joys!!!!

Does it have a cleaning setting? With mine I just use water, but have to heat it up to the hottest setting, then put it to maximum steam and wave it to and fro over the sink - lots of steam, hot water, and bits of limescale then come spitting out of it...

It doesn't have a cleaning setting, but will have a bash. Tnx
