to clean the "ironing" part of your iron. My iron is only 6 months old and I am ashamed to say it's scorched looking on the bottom. Have I done something wrong?

I have some scorched stuff on the bottom of my iron, I will try looking for the squeeze tube stuff.
Do you think vinegar would also work to clean out the inside on my iron? I have hard water in my area, and there are little white scales clogging up my iron, which end up coming out on my clothes whenever I hit the "steam" button. Please let me know if you think it would be safe to use vinegar to clean it out. Thanks!

I use that stuff in the squeeze tube also. You can get kits at places like Linens and Things. I have a Rowenta iron and the kit is made for their product, but I suppose it would work for any iron.

HI BON,
I like to iron, but one way to fix the problem is to stop ironing.

you can make a paste using a couple of tablespoons of baking soda mixed with a little bit of water and then wipe it on the sole plate of the iron to loosen the "scorched" stuff. then wipe with a wet cloth.

If you are using a spray starch, that might contribute to the build-up. There is a product on the market (in a squeeze tube) that you put onto a terry towel and run the hot iron over it. Of course, I can't remember the name, but will look and post again. If you have any books on natural cleaning, that might have some "recipes".
I've tried to find a suitable exercise video for women my age...but they haven't made one called "Buns of Putty" |
