A dirty iron can be a real hassle. Over time, as you use it to press clothes, residue from fabrics, starch, and even minerals from water can build up on the soleplate. This not only makes the iron less effective but can also leave marks on your clothes. But here’s the good news: cleaning your iron is simpler and faster than you might think. In just 30 seconds, you can restore your iron to its former glory and keep it performing like new. Read on to discover this quick and easy hack to clean your iron and keep it in perfect working condition.
Ingredients
Baking soda (1 tablespoon)
Water (a few drops)
A clean cloth or paper towel
Cotton swabs (optional)
Vinegar (optional)
Instructions
Make a Baking Soda Paste
Start by mixing 1 tablespoon of baking soda with a few drops of water to create a thick paste. The baking soda acts as a mild abrasive, making it ideal for removing grime and buildup without damaging the soleplate.
Apply the Paste
Turn off the iron and let it cool down slightly. Once it’s warm but not hot, dip a clean cloth or a cotton swab into the baking soda paste. Gently rub the paste onto the soleplate, focusing on areas with noticeable stains or buildup. The paste will help break down any gunk that has accumulated on the surface.
