How To Descale & Clean An Iron (removing rust & limescale)

Описание: How to Descale Your Iron & Clean your Iron! ✨
  
If you are noticing a residue or calcium build up in your clothes iron's water tank, or rust/burn marks on your iron, it is probably time to clean it! 🧽

1️⃣: Mixing together the following and pour into the irons reservoir:
⭐️ 1/2 - 3/4 cup distilled water
⭐ ¼ - 1/2 cup vinegar
 
2️⃣: Plug in and turn your iron to a steam appropriate setting. 🧖‍♀️ Hold or press your steam button until you get steam flowing out of it. 💨
*This is heating up and removing the limescale in the reservoir and pushing out build up in the steam vents to clean them!

3️⃣: Before tuning off the iron, use some cotton swabs to remove any mineral deposits or sediment build up from the steam vents. 💨
 
4️⃣: Unplug and let cool completely🔌, before emptying out the remaining solution. 💦
 
5️⃣: To clean the bottom, also known as the Soleplate, mix together:
⭐️2 tablespoons of baking soda
⭐️1 tablespoon of water
Spread out the mixture onto the soleplate. Let sit for a minute ⏰, then wipe off with a clean damp cloth. 💧 Set iron aside.
 
6️⃣: Cover the ironing board with a large thick towel. Then fill the iron’s water chamber with only distilled water, and turn back on.

7️⃣ Select the steam setting and run it over the thick towel. 🧻 Releasing steam to push out and remove any baking soda or gunk stuck in the reservoir and steam vents still. 💨
*This is when I discovered that the the longer the threads on the towel, the better as it will help get into and clean the holes easier.
*You can also use an old tooth brush to clean out the vent holes
 
8️⃣ Once clean, turn off and unplug the iron… letting it cool before dumping out the excess water. 💧
‼️PRO TIP ‼️: If you leave the water chamber door open, when not in use, you will allow it to dry out better, reducing the chance of mold, mildew and build up! 💧
 
⭐️ To avoid build up in the future, & keep clothes at their best, consider using ONLY distilled water when ironing clothes, instead of tap water. 🧴 This will reduce the chances of spotting, rusting or stains. 🐄
 
🤫 P.S. This is also a great time to spot clean or remove and wash your ironing board cover, to clean away any build up, grime or stains! 🤫
