Can anyone tell me if the water which collects in my dehumidifier is deionised and so could be used in steam irons, mops etc? Or any other purpose?
Or is it only good for what I do with it at the moment, which is flush the loo?

For sure, it's not de-ionized - it would be special procedures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purified_water.

Morning George
I have successfully used dehumidifier water in my steam irons for many years. There is no calcium (or any other minerals) in the dehumidified water and so the iron does not "burble" dirty water stains onto the clean ironing, and the steam jets also need much less cleaning.

We use the water from the Dehumidifier for the iron and have done for several years without any problems.

I would concur with what PW and Jim B are saying. Perfectly suited, as it will be pure water.

Many thanks everyone, that was my suspicion, but wasn't sure. Can now put it to another use as well :clap
