Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with a little water to make a paste.

Apply the paste to the cold iron’s soleplate.

Gently rub with a cloth in circular motions to remove burnt-on stains.

Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove residue.

2. Remove Mineral Deposits

Fill the iron’s water reservoir with half white vinegar, half water.

Turn the iron to its steam setting and allow it to heat.

Press the steam button over a sink or towel to flush out mineral buildup in the vents.

Repeat until steam flows freely without residue.

3. Clean Steam Vents

Dip a cotton swab in vinegar and gently clean each steam hole.

This ensures the steam comes out evenly and prevents future clogging.

4. Final Rinse

Fill the reservoir with clean water and repeat the steam process to remove any leftover vinegar.

Wipe the exterior of the iron with a damp cloth.
