If the trick doesn't work, wet a few pieces of cotton wool removed from cotton swabs and place them on the sole of the iron.

The solution will corrode some of the plaque, and you will be able to clean the channels using the standard method.

After cleaning, test the iron by ironing an unnecessary piece of light fabric. Be sure to use the steam function to check the operation of the equipment.

If there are no stains, streaks or deformations left on the fabric, the iron can be used as usual.
