Synthetic fabric residues may stick to the iron due to high temperatures. It is not so easy to get rid of soot, and in the article we will talk about the most effective ways.
Soak a large piece of cloth in vinegar, place the iron on it in a horizontal position.
Leave for a long time, overnight. In the morning, it remains to wipe the sole with soapy water and rinse with clean water.
To enhance the action of vinegar, it is good to add ammonia in a 1: 1 ratio.
Another way is hydrogen peroxide.
It is necessary to moisten a cotton swab in 3% hydrogen peroxide and wipe the surface of the iron well, rubbing off the stains.
The peroxide will dissolve the carbon deposits and clean the soles. Wipe off the rest with a tissue.
Hold the iron over the sink and press and hold the button to activate the iron's self-cleaning function.
At this point, shake the iron vigorously. Steam will begin to come out of the soleplate, so be careful.
