Here’s how to clean the floor of a flat iron to make it look like new

Lemon: The degreasing and cleaning properties of lemon are remarkable. Heat the iron, then unplug it. Rub half a lemon over the surface. For an extra degreasing effect, use a sponge with a few drops of vinegar. Alternatively, a mixture of dishwashing liquid and water can be used, but ensure it’s well-rinsed. Finish by rinsing and drying thoroughly.

Salt: An excellent natural cleaning remedy, salt can also be used to clean a burnt iron soleplate. Place a sheet of parchment paper on the ironing board and sprinkle it with salt. Heat the iron and iron over the salt as if you were pressing clothes.

Note: You can use aluminum foil if you don’t have parchment paper!

Warnings: Always unplug the iron while cleaning and follow the manufacturer’s care instructions.”
