Even after purchasing a new iron, the stains still appear. I also use distilled water in my iron. Could it be the pad? Does anyone have any answers? What could be the problem?
Is the bottom of your iron clean?
Possibly the ironing pad if its a metal ironing board, sometimes the board if old has rusted. If its a new iron then its probably not that. Change the pad on the ironing board. It could possibly be your washer or dryer, sometimes the buildup from hard water with lots of minerals remains in the washing machine, run some white vinegar through the washer with hot water, alternatively, fill the washer and add two cups of so of vinegar and let it sit for a few hours, then let it run through. If its your clothes dryer, wipe the inside out, spray with vinegar, wipe out again. Fabric softener sheets sometimes leave a residue inside the clothes dryer.
Place a cloth on the pad and test it. Honestly get to the bottom of this before you iron. Iron a test rag or cloth and start hot then less hot etc untill its clear. Be sure to look at the questionable fabric also.
