With regular use, a noticeable deposit may form on the sole of the iron, which can easily stain things.
It is especially dangerous to use a dirty device when working with light-colored clothing.
Therefore, if there is carbon deposits, it is worth taking appropriate measures. It may not be possible to remove the contamination in the usual way, especially if the carbon deposits are ingrained.
What methods are worth trying?
Cheap pasta
Expensive hygiene products are not suitable, as they may contain aggressive components that can ruin the iron. But the composition of a cheap iron cleaning paste is impeccable.
You will need to evenly distribute a thin layer of paste on the surface of the dirt and wait until the product "sets". Then remove the paste using the hard side of a sponge or brush.
Peroxide
This product copes well even with persistent dirt. First, you need to treat the sole of the iron with hydrogen peroxide. Then cover it with a clean, dry cloth made of natural fabric so that the material is attached to the sole.
After a few hours, try ironing the old fabric. In most cases, the method helps immediately.
