✔ How to do it:
- Mix 1 tablespoon baking soda with 1 teaspoon water to form a paste.
- Rub it onto the cooled iron soleplate using a soft cloth or sponge.
- Wipe off with a damp cloth and dry.
- Your iron is now clean and smooth!
2. White Vinegar (For Hard Water Deposits & Rust)
✔ How to do it:
- Dip a cloth in white vinegar and wipe the iron’s surface.
- For stubborn stains, soak a cotton ball in vinegar and rub the affected areas.
- Wipe with a clean cloth and let dry.
- Result: The vinegar dissolves mineral buildup for a spotless soleplate!
3. Salt & Aluminum Foil (For Sticky Residues)
✔ How to do it:
- Sprinkle table salt onto a sheet of aluminum foil.
- Heat the iron to medium and run it over the salted foil.
- Wipe clean with a soft cloth.
- Why it works: The salt scrapes away gunk without scratching the iron!
