In fact, the plate, being made of steel, can easily blacken over the years, also due to water and contact with clothing.

The holes, however, are affected and blocked by limestone because the water vapor that remains inside them has difficulty going away.

The solution is to heat the iron plate without making it hot , then you will have to pass a sponge full of fine salt over it and leave it to act for about 20 minutes.

After this time it will be necessary to rinse well with a microfibre cloth and you will see that the holes and the plate will become shiny and super clean again!
