Not all cases require the preparation of a tricky cleaning solution to clean the soleplate of an iron.
You can limit yourself to a penny trick that even home appliance repair specialists recommend.
Carbon deposits on the iron
With regular use of equipment, various contaminants appear. For example, carbon deposits form on the outer side of the device - on the sole.
In most cases, this is a yellow coating that appears when the hot surface of the iron comes into contact with things.
How to remove carbon deposits
For this case, there is a special pencil. It removes carbon deposits from the sole of the iron. If you don't have a pencil, there is another simple method.
To remove carbon deposits, turn on the device and iron food foil or parchment paper with the device. Traces of dirt will remain on the material, and the surface of the iron will shine.
However, the method is not suitable for all devices. The trick is relevant only for modern irons with a non-stick coating. It is better not to iron foil with old devices.
