<p>[QUOTE="KLJ, post: 44854, member: 1910"]But it is the same thing. You are adding stuff to your note. If you use tap water to iron, that means whatever is in your tap water, which is at least chlorine and fluoride (both of which are corrosive). Don't even get me started on the minerals in heavy water. Even if you use distilled water, you'll add to the note whatever happens to be in the iron (even if that's just dust). Remember that the paper in notes is cotton based. Cotton rots. Adding things to notes unnecessarily only speeds up the rotting process. As noted by several other people here, note collectors will see the effects of ironing quickly. Thus making the ironing unnecessary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
