Some experienced housewives periodically perform a procedure that at first may seem strange and meaningless.

So, women apply toothpaste to the sole of the iron.

Moreover, this is done at the moment when the lower part of the device is heated.

It turns out that an unusual procedure in most cases helps to achieve one important result.

The meaning of the procedure

You need to cover the sole of the iron with toothpaste if there is carbon deposits or some other type of contamination on the surface.

When applying the hygienic product, the lower part of the device should only be slightly warm. Do not allow the soleplate of the iron to become too hot.

Next you need to wait until the mass dries.

Once this happens, the product must be removed. To do this, use a piece of cloth soaked in water.

As a result, the sole of the iron will be freed not only from toothpaste, but also from carbon deposits.

When using this life hack, the housewife must be careful: do not forget that the iron is hot.
