It is best when life experience is formed on the basis of other people’s mistakes, especially when it comes to caring for household appliances.
For example, you need to learn to distinguish between tips that can instantly ruin the sole of your iron during cleaning, and irrevocably.
Let's figure out which compounds are completely unsuitable for cleaning an iron.
In the store you can choose both professional cleaning products and prepare something according to folk recipes.
Most often, it is recommended to use vinegar. When heated, this product produces a nasty smell, but it will definitely not cause any damage to the surface, which cannot be said about abrasive products.
Anything that acts like sandpaper will cause the fabric to burn even more actively in the area where the stain was rubbed off.
The same applies to household solvents.
Another bad example is the use of chlorine-containing products, as well as an attempt to clean the sole with a metal sponge for washing dishes.
And even more so, you should not remove the remains of burnt fabric with a knife.
All these products and objects damage the protective layer of the iron sole, which cannot be restored.
