My tefal express auto control keeps spitting out brown water to the extent I am afraid to iron whites. Two shirts already spoiled. Only has an anti calc collector at side but this doesn't seem help - is there another way to clean the inside of the iron? Only 2 years old. Last one lived with me for 8 years and now with daughter - it was great!

Frustrated ironing lady, May 2017

I use Citric Acid powder to descale stuff in my house - dishwasher - kettle - coffee machine - shower head. Never used in an iron.

Buy Citric Acid from home brew shop or Amazon (£1.75 free delivery) - mix up a solution and leave it overnight - it might work - no promises.

Good Luck..., May 2017
