My clothes have been stained on more than one occasion by a hotel iron that spit out rusty steam or dark gunk. I now run the hot iron over a sacrificial towel and only move on to my clothes when I’m confident that the steam is clean.

Edit: as some have mentioned, if you find the iron with water already in it, make sure to drain it in the sink and then fill with fresh water before turning on. Also, make sure to hit the steam button numerous times as you’re going over the towel.
