Mix a spoon of baking soda with a few drops of water to make a thick paste.
Spread the paste gently over the soleplate (the metal bottom of the iron).
Wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
For the steam holes, dip a cotton swab in water and clean them carefully.
That’s it — your iron will be spotless and glide smoothly again!
Extra Quick Methods You Can Try
Salt and Paper Towel: Sprinkle salt on a sheet of paper towel and run the hot iron over it to remove burnt residue.
