How To Clean an Iron | A Complete Guide

[@Bella-gj6wc]

I did the salt, and it took some off. Then I used the toothpaste, baking Soda, & vinegar solution. Voila my vintage iron is spotlessly clean! I also cleaned the interior, although I don’t use the steam feature much, stuff from my toothpaste solution had gone in the holes in the iron. I’ve tried everything to clean the faceplate, and your ideas were far and away the BEST! My only regret is not taking a before and after picture. Thanks ever so much! Have a great day!

[@marcus245]

The vinegar for cleaning the inside really worked on my iron. I though I might have to get a new iron because it was so rusted in the inside but this cleared it all out. Thank you!! 😊

I buy Fautless Hot iron cleaner in the laundry dept at Target or Walmart. 1 Oz tube lasts forever and it works great.

[@amritamaan6684]

Extremely helpful !!! I tried the salt trick and it worked like magic and it was very fast too !!!

[@drmontague6475]

Prevention is better than cure. I have found that most people iron at too high a temperature . The steam setting on my iron has high, medium , low. Set the steam to low. I have found this setting works perfectly and I never have to clean my iron. The rule is start off at a low temperature and increase the temperature gradually. Write the settings down or keep them in a mental sock. Give it a go you have nothing to lose and hopefully everything to gain.

[@charleneweege7149]

[@mattdrewdrums]

So, this works-just be warned. I'm a grown man and had to spend an hour scrubbing HARD to remove a small burnt area. My hand is acheing and I'm sweating like a pig.

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Glad it worked out for you!!

[@yvonnetsotetsi6091]

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Happy to help

[@jackiemuller9687]

I am flabbergasted how well this worked. After scrubbing with the paste, there burnt stuff came off but paste kind of stayed glued on and I couldn’t scrub it off. I thought that was that. Popped out quickly to buy a new iron. When I got back, I decided to try scrubbing iron again which was now cold and amazing - it’s as good as new. Thanks for the tip.

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Happy to help!

[@sedoniadragotta8323]

You can also use citric acid to a kettle and boil it then rinse out with little dish soap and it be clean like new

Clean iron.. something i need now 😊 good job 👌

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Thanks!

[@madmaximus2124]

Getting ready to do it now! It's an older iron but I'm not buying a new one if I don't have to. My method is usually to throw wrinkled item in the dryer again. Lol

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Awesome! Good luck!!

[@skylaboyer3036]

[@BadarSyed]

can we use steel wool to clean it or will it destroy the non stick plate forever?

[@CleanWithConfidence]

It just all depends on what type of iron you have. Some of them are a little softer than others and you could scratch it up pretty bad. So I wouldn't recommend it.

[@HappiBee]

I tried this on our heavily stained iron and it worked! You just have to scrub it vigorously, when I said vigorously - - it's really VIGOROUSLY.. 😅 It's better also to prepare quite a lot of mixture (especially for heavily stained ones) so that you won't need to mix every now and then if it's not enough and the stain is still there at first try.

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Thanks for the testimony!!

[@cindym3220]

My sponge melted :( and it didn’t work. Any tips?

[@loisbeyer5336]

@@cindym3220 I tried the baking soda/vinegar bit and it didn't work. I'm not doing the salt, it's not food, it's an iron. I read an aspirin tablet or Tylenol in a warm iron using a tweezers to rub tablet so you don't burn your fingers then wipe clean with a damp cloth, but supposedly you need to cover your nose and mouth and open the window because of fumes. To tell you the truth, oven cleaner is not something I keep on hand because my oven is spotless inside as I am a vegetarian. My hardware store said to purchase stainless steel cleaner which they said is $8. I'm tired of this, I'm expecting a gift card for my birthday. I'm just getting a new iron. It won't be as good quality as mine, but this process is over for me. I have better things to do and I have clothes to iron.

[@BurnerDiaz]

This works! The salt rub does wonders lol

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Thanks for the testimony!

[@zedplusmedia2695]

[@krissyedwards3818]

What if you don't have vinegar? Is there something else you can use to clean inside the iron?

[@LivingMyBestLifeIAm]

Lol buy some vinegar. It’s like 2 dollars. If not, coffee machine de-scaler will work too.

[@juneyallen1330]

Wouldn’t you want to flush out the vinegar with clean distilled water before you actually use it again?

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Sure, if you feel it's necessary then by all means. :)

[@wuderoofe]

Will this work non-stick irons?
