Why does the Xiaomi Standing Garment Steamer emit white particles or powder?
It is recommended to use purified water for steaming clothes with the Xiaomi Standing Garment Steamer. If non-purified or tap water is used, you can notice white particles or powder being sprayed during operation. These white particles or powder are mineral deposits, also known as scale, which can accumulate in the garment steamer.
These deposits will not damage the clothing but can affect the performance of the garment steamer. If very poor quality tap water is used, there is a risk of water spray that will dirty the garments. To avoid this issue, use purified water to ensure the garment steamer operates effectively and to prevent any residue from being left on your clothes. Regularly cleaning the garment steamer can also help mitigate the buildup of scale.
