Title: pure water ironing
Post by: combat1 on March 19, 2011, 12:55:30 pm: I know theres a lot of ex military guys on here and why is it that our partners always think we love ironing!
My question is that we live in an area with about 320 tds and so would it be better to use my 000tds water in the iron to stop it scaling up etc?

Yes the pure water is good for ironing, but no way would I do the family ironing ex forces or not, in all my time I ironed my uniform and nothing else, that is her job ;D not mine

Post by: Dave Willis on March 20, 2011, 12:28:23 pm: Surely pure water will burn holes through all your clothes? I've heard it's really aggressive, burns through van floors, dissolves wooden frames, eats double glazing seals, ruins pressure washers, attacks green algae, dissolves dirt, melts copper fittings as it fights to return to it's natural state and strips your body of minerals. Nasty stuff.

Strange thing though, tropical fish like it and people drink it, dentists like to squirt it about too. Funny that ???

Post by: Tom White on March 20, 2011, 02:40:37 pm: I've not ironed anything in YEARS! Nor have I hoovered, dusted, cleaned, or anything like that.

Such are the positives of having a partner who has a gardening, cleaning and ironing OCD. Unfortunately her OCD does not stretch to cooking; I do just about all of that.
