Irons

I have laundry for a bnb each week and need a great iron. My DM's old one is brilliant. Steam, with tank, nice and heavy. Unfortunately it's so old rusty water squirts out occasionally to ruin the clean sheets 😲. So I bought a new one and it's just not up to the job. I have cotton sheets and the creases are not going even though the iron gets nice and hot (too hot as the non cotton items stick). I can't help thinking things were made better 20 years ago...(anyway, another story). Any recommendations, dear Mumsnetters?

The rusty stuff might be scale have you tried cleaning it with descaling solution?

Actually no, I haven't tried. Will certainly give it a go as although it is 20+ years, it's still going strong and works a treat otherwise!

Have you tried using a water sprayer to spray dry sheet before ironing

No but I shall return the iron today if I can. I would love some recommendations for a new iron that is up to cotton sheets. So many irons, lots of prices, lots of reviews, so confusing 😆
