how can I clean up electric iron, specially bottom is dark brown?

Answer 1

Clean Bottom Of Iron

Answer 3

Oh my god, don't follow Charles S advice and use a brillo pad. What is wrong with guys?

Just wait till iron cools and use baking soda and water and a soft cloth. Rub till clean.

And from now on, pay attention to the temperature of the iron when you iron your clothes. Different fabrics get ironed at different temperatures.

Answer 4

Heat up the iron & rub a candle stick at the bottom of the iron, When the candle melts, wipe the iron's bottom with a clean cloth ( that you won't use anymore ). This always works!!!

Answer 5

Have you tried baking soda? A paste of baking soda, and a little water should work. Use a soft rag, Also a little vinegar/water mixuter poured in the steam hole will clean out any hard water deposits. Just turn the iron on with steam, and iron a towel, to get the steam working, then empty the water, and rinse with cold water.

Answer 6

Heat equal parts white distilled vinegar and salt in a small pan. Rub solution on the cooled iron surface to remove dark or burned stains.

Answer 7

I just use a brillo pad.....turn it on....scrub, scrub.
