Mix 1–2 tablespoons of baking soda with just enough water to form a thick paste.
Apply to the Iron Plate
Spread the paste over the cool, unplugged iron’s soleplate, focusing on areas with burnt-on residue.
Wipe Clean
Use a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe away the paste. Most grime will lift instantly.
Rinse and Dry
Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth to remove any remaining baking soda. Dry thoroughly before plugging the iron back in.
Extra Tips
For stubborn stains, heat the iron slightly (not too hot) and repeat the process.
Avoid abrasive scrubbing tools that can scratch the iron.
Regular cleaning prevents fabric stains and extends the life of your iron.
