Unfortunately, it&#8217;s not uncommon to find the sole of a burnt iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can happen for a number of reasons. Synthetic material residue or even too much detergent can accumulate and cause this inconvenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You notice that the sole sticks to your clothes and can even make them dirty! The tips will help you keep your straighteners looking like new!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> It is recommended to always follow the instructions for use of the iron before cleaning it.

Take your candle and start running it over the hot iron plate. It can be helpful to do this on an old cloth so as not to dirty the surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will notice that the wax will melt on contact with the soleplate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then pass it over the old towel, as if you were ironing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the dirt is stubborn, you can use an abrasive sponge. To finish, take half a lemon and rub it on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its degreasing properties will polish the sole of the iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">vinegar and water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trick is faster and more efficient for cleaning your iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White vinegar has degreasing properties and has a powerful anti-scale action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always make sure your iron is unplugged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a bowl and pour in equal parts water and vinegar. Then add 2 tablespoons of fine salt and stir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soak a soft sponge, wring it out well, and gently rub the iron sole until the dirt is removed. Completely remove your natural cleanser and you&#8217;ll notice that your iron is clean!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marseille soap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You all know the powerful degreasing properties of Marseille soap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To remove the burn from the iron, simply pass the paste over the heating plate, always being careful not to get dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can then remove the excess first with a crumpled newspaper, which will absorb it all, and then with a clean, damp cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/citron-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-320673\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pinterest-1.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lemon \u2013 Source: spm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lemon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lemon retains all its degreasing and cleansing properties. Turn on the iron, heat it, and then unplug it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then take half a lemon and rub it all over the surface. For a more degreasing effect, take a sponge, add a few drops of vinegar and clean the iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Otherwise, some water with dishwashing liquid is also suitable. But everything must be well drained. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sel-fer-a-repasser1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-320674\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pinterest-1.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salt to clean the iron \u2013 Source: spm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salt is an excellent natural remedy for cleaning the house, you can also use it to clean the burnt iron sole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place a sheet of parchment paper on the ironing board and sprinkle with salt.
