Main mistakes

The first of these concerns cleaning with salt. Coarse-grained salt can damage the coating.

The second miscalculation is related to the use of toothpaste. This remedy is not very effective in this case.

In addition, the paste penetrates into the steam holes and is then difficult to remove.

Another mistake is the use of citric acid. It is acceptable to use it when you need to clean the inside of the iron.

A working method for cleaning an iron

To effectively clean your iron, you can use 3% hydrogen peroxide from the pharmacy.

In 200 ml of water you need to dilute 50 ml of peroxide and add 3 teaspoons of baking soda.

The resulting mixture should be applied to a layer of paper napkins.

Then you just need to iron these napkins. The soleplate of the iron will be clean in a matter of seconds.
