Filling my iron with water is one of my least favorite jobs. I have a little pitcher for this purpose that came with my iron, but inevitably the little opening in the iron always ends up bubbling over, and then I have water running down the iron and all over my ironing board.
Here’s a tip for a much easier (and inexpensive) way to fill your iron without spills. Purchase a cheap refillable condiment bottle like the one shown below. I bought this one at Wal-Mart for about 50 cents. Fill with water, and voila! A quick and easy way to fill your iron… and no more spills.

What a great idea! I’ll have to suggest this to the official ironer in my family.
