     How the iron (熨斗) of tomorrow (the first Self Cleaning Iron) can change your lifestyle today?
     General Electric introduces the iron of tomorrow. The iron can clean itself inside where irons get dirty.
Because it cleans itself each and every time you empty it. How? With a push of a magic blue button.
     The magic blue button
     The first thing you'll notice that's different about this iron is the blue button on the side. It's marked "Self
Clean". Push this blue button, and you can wash out loose mineral deposits(沉淀物) that remain and block up
inside. Push this button, and you've made life a lot easier.
     Less chance of brown spots
     Sure, Self Cleaning Iron is going to cut down on brown spots (Those ugly spots that happen on nice,
cleanly pressed clothes.) because a Self Cleaning Iron becomes clean each time you press that magic blue
button.
     Steams better longer
     Common sense tells you that if you've got an iron that blocks less often it has to stay younger for a long
period of time. In other words, it steams better longer. That's another joy of owning General Electric's Self
Cleaning Iron.
     What does it mean to you
     Today you are doing so much more than just running a house and running after the kids. You're working.

to. The new Self Cleaning Iron is another one of Home-Makers from General Electric.
