A steam iron full of mineral buildup can spit, stain, and leave marks on your clothes. Regular cleaning and descaling keep it gliding smoothly and protect your fabrics.
Step-by-Step Guide
Empty the Water Tank
Pour out any leftover water and unplug the iron before you begin.
Descale With Vinegar
Fill the tank with equal parts white vinegar and water, then steam on high over an old cloth to flush the vents.
Clean the Soleplate
Wipe the cooled soleplate with a baking soda paste to lift sticky residue and scorch marks.
Rinse and Dry
Refill with clean water and steam again to rinse, then wipe dry before storing.
Pro Tips
- Use distilled water to slow buildup.
- Empty the tank after every use.
- Never scrape the soleplate with metal.
