Ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cooled before cleaning.
Prepare Vinegar Solution:
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water.
Clean the Soleplate:
Dip a clean cloth in the vinegar solution and wring it out.
Wipe the soleplate to dissolve mineral buildup and stains.
For stubborn spots, make a paste of baking soda and water, gently rub the soleplate with a soft cloth using the paste, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Clear Steam Vents:
Use a toothpick or needle to carefully remove debris from steam holes. Dip cotton swabs in vinegar solution and clean inside vents.
Flush the Water Reservoir:
Fill the iron’s water tank with the vinegar-water solution. Turn the iron on to steam setting, let it steam for a few minutes to remove mineral deposits inside, then empty the reservoir.
Rinse and Dry:
Fill the reservoir with clean water and repeat the steaming process to flush out vinegar residue. Empty and let the iron dry completely.
Clean the Exterior:
Wipe the iron’s body with a damp cloth and mild dish soap if needed. Dry thoroughly.
