Alternative Methods (If You Don’t Have Paracetamol)

  • Baking soda + water paste — scrub gently with a soft cloth
  • White vinegar — dab on a cloth and wipe (avoid on aluminum)
  • Iron cleaning pads — specially designed abrasive pads
  • Toothpaste (non-gel) — mild abrasive, wipe with damp cloth

A Painkiller That Heals Your Iron

It sounds too strange to be true — but thousands of users swear by it:
A paracetamol tablet can rescue a burnt iron when nothing else works.

It’s cheap, effective, and uses a household item you likely already have.

So next time your iron picks up a sticky mess, don’t panic.
Grab a painkiller, heat up the iron, and let science do the rest.

(Your iron’s clean. The problem’s solved.)

Sometimes, the best cleaning tools aren’t in your cabinet — they’re in your medicine drawer.
