Lesson learned: Removing water spots from rayon lining

Water spots on rayon vest lining

I promised to use this blog to document the hiccups I come across while sewing, so here is the latest lesson learned.  As I was pressing my rayon vest lining, the iron spit out steam on the rayon and spotted it.  I looked around on the internet and several sources suggested steaming it.  I tried that, but the spots remained.  I finally wet down the whole lining and pressed it with a dry iron on the synthetic setting and the water spots are no longer visible. 
No water spots!
