Mix: Combine 1 tablespoon of salt with 1 cup of white vinegar in a bowl.
Heat the iron: Plug in your iron and set it to the highest steam setting. Let it warm up.
Apply the mixture: Dip a clean cloth or paper towel into the vinegar-salt mix.
Wipe the soleplate: Carefully rub the warm iron’s soleplate with the damp cloth. The salt gently scrubs away any burnt fabric or mineral deposits.
Steam clean: Fill the water reservoir with plain white vinegar and steam the iron over a sink or old towel to flush out any internal deposits.
Rinse: Refill with clean water and steam again to clear vinegar residue.
Done! Your iron will glide smoothly, free of gunk and mineral build-up.
Pro tip: Repeat once a month for best results. Always unplug before cleaning and never immerse the iron in water.
