It may happen that we iron our clothes and our t-shirts and suddenly find marks due to the iron soleplate .

As soon as we see these stains we immediately think that the damage is already done and we can’t do anything to recover our garment.

So, what to do if the iron plate stains your clothes? Let’s find out together!

Clean the plate
It might seem like rather banal advice , yet these stains are often due to the dirty iron soleplate which, consequently, transfers its dirt onto the clothes.

Therefore, it would be a good idea to proceed with a thorough cleaning of the plate.

We therefore suggest that you turn on the iron at medium temperature , take half of a lemon and dip it in a saucer containing a little bicarbonate of soda or fine salt .

Then, shake it slightly and pass it over the iron soleplate several times. At this point, turn off the iron, let it cool and wipe it with a damp and well-wrung cloth .

NB I recommend you be extremely careful not to burn yourself.

Clean the boiler
In addition to the plate, however, it would also be a good idea to clean the boiler because the dirt and limescale accumulated inside tends to be transferred out through the holes in the plate .

To clean it, it would be a good idea to proceed with citric acid, a compound derived from citrus fruits known for its strong anti-limescale action which can also thoroughly clean the washing machine!

Once all the dirt has softened , throw away the mixture and let the boiler dry without putting the cap on.
