Paracetamol tablet
Heat the iron slightly and rub a white, uncoated paracetamol tablet directly onto the soleplate. Then wipe with a clean, damp cloth.

Multi-surface cleaner
Spray a little multi-surface cleaner on the cold soleplate and leave for a few seconds. Then wipe with a microfiber cloth.

Nail polish remover
Heat the iron slightly and apply a little nail polish remover to a cotton pad. Run it over the soleplate to dissolve the stains.

Dryer Sheets
Set the iron to the lowest temperature and rub the soleplate with a fabric softener sheet until it regains its shine.

How to keep an iron soleplate clean for longer
Regular maintenance helps prevent residue build-up. Here are some simple tips to follow.

Clean the soleplate after each use with a damp microfibre cloth.
Use only distilled water to avoid limescale deposits in the steam holes.
Always place a thin cloth between the iron and delicate fabrics to prevent fibres from sticking to the soleplate.
Check the labels of the garments before ironing them and adjust the temperature accordingly.
With these tips, your iron will stay clean and efficient, guaranteeing impeccable ironing without the risk of stains on your clothes.
