How to clean an iron

Even irons need adequate care from time to time. Otherwise, rather unsightly stains may remain on them. A possible cause of the stains may be a poor-quality ironing surface, due to which there are subsequently traces of limescale or rust on the iron. Here at EkoBIT, we know how to clean the iron cheaply and quickly. Commonly available means found in every household will be enough for you.

You may have already encountered the fact that there are various burns on your iron. If this is the case, they may have arisen as a result of the wrong temperature when ironing more sensitive fabrics. However, ordinary vinegar can help you with them. You can put the cloth impregnated by your father on the ironing board and then run the iron over it. If you are asking how long, until the burns themselves dissolve.

But table salt will also help with an iron burn. You wrap this in a cloth, then heat the ironing surface and slowly run over the burnt spots. However, avoid it with more modern irons, as their surface is relatively sensitive. As a last resort, you can also try chemical preparations, but in their case, follow the information given on the packaging itself or in a special leaflet.

If you have noticed that there is rust on your ironing surface, baking soda or acetone will help you with it. You can rub it with a clear conscience with these products. But in some cases, even that is not enough, and for the next time, as EkoBIT, we can recommend looking for an iron that offers a stainless steel surface.
