Make sure your iron is unplugged and slightly cooled—warm but not too hot to touch.
2. Wipe the Soleplate
Use a clean, dry cloth or paper towel to wipe the soleplate. For stubborn spots, sprinkle a tiny amount of baking soda on the cloth and gently rub the iron’s surface.
3. Quick Steam Blast (Optional)
If your iron has a steam function, fill it with water and turn it on. Let it steam for 10–15 seconds over a sink or safe surface. The steam will help loosen any remaining residue.
4. Final Wipe
After the steam, wipe the soleplate again with a clean cloth. Your iron should now be spotless and ready to use!
Extra Tips
Clean your iron regularly to prevent buildup.
Avoid using abrasive materials like metal scrubbers—they can scratch the soleplate.
For heavy stains, a mixture of vinegar and water can help dissolve residue before wiping.
Conclusion
With this 30-second trick, cleaning your iron is fast, easy, and effective. No more sticky soleplates or ruined clothes—just a smooth, clean iron ready for every ironing session!
