It sounds to me as if your iron may need a cleaning. Try adding a vinegar & water solution to the steam compartment, and turn the steam function on. Once the iron is empty, refill it with water only, and steam it all out again. You may want to do this over a towel, so that you can collect all of the stuff that comes out of the steamer.

What has happened is that the water was not dumped when you were fininshed using the steam iron. Unless you buy an iron especially labelled for allowing the water to stay in, you need to dump it after each use. What to do, i don't know.

Along with what the others said... don't leave water in your iron when you are finished ironing. And only use distilled water. Hard water can ruin an iron.

The iron is too hot and it will cause the spray to turn your cloths brown and burn them.
Turn the iron down

You need to clean the iron. The water has caused corrosion. You can clean it with white vinegar & water...but I would recommend a new iron.
