Always refill a steamer with _________.

• A. Tap Water
• B. Mineral Water
• C. Filtered Water
• D. Distilled Water

Answer: (D)

Using distilled water prevents mineral buildup in the steamer. Tap water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that precipitate as scale when heated, which can clog steam jets, reduce heat transfer, and shorten the device’s life. Distilled water has those minerals removed, so it minimizes deposits, keeps steam output steady, and reduces maintenance. Other options introduce minerals that can cause scale and performance issues, so distilled water is the best choice.
