Infallible tips to clean your burnt iron

Although we know that ironing is not the best alternative for caring for the environment, we understand that there are times when it is necessary, and like everything in life, the important thing is balance, so we recommend minimizing the use of the iron and use it wisely when necessary.

One of the most common problems when ironing is that certain parts of the clothes accidentally burn, especially when the appropriate temperature is not used for the fabric you are ironing and worse if the material is delicate. So before ironing any garment, check the label so you can see the treatment you should give it and avoid burns.

But if you are reading this very late and the damage has already been done, we are going to tell you how to clean a burnt iron easily and effectively.

Baking soda and water

All you need to do is mix some baking soda and water together to create a paste. Then scrub it into the soleplate of the iron using a soft brush or scrubbing towel. Then use a little water to clean. Make sure the paste has been completely wiped off and don't use the iron until it's completely dry.

A little vinegar

Moisten a towel with white vinegar. Then, wipe down the burnt iron to remove any dirt. In some situations, some residue may remain, so you can leave the wipe on for 15-30 minutes, then dry the iron with another clean cloth and you're done.

Toothpaste

Another trick Handy recommends is to put some white toothpaste on the burnt iron. Then clean with a damp cloth. Remember to let the iron dry completely before using it.
