This is very annoying. My iron keeps making brownish yellowish spots on my white shirts.
Are these stains or burns? Does anyone know why this happens (is it from heat? dirt? water?..) And what can I do to prevent it.
It is getting really frustrating.
thanks!

It's coming from inside of the iron.
Look for the manual (or check online if you don't have it anymore), to see how it can be cleaned from the inside out.

Btw, it's best to iron with something on top of the garment, so that you are not ironing directly on the clothes. This helps prevent stains as well.

Good luck!
