About this deal
If your iron has started to splutter water, or leave chalky white deposits on your clothes – or if it just doesn’t work as well as it used to – it’s almost certainly in need of a clean.
If this doesn’t get rid of stubborn marks, try dissolving a few teaspoons of table salt or bicarbonate of soda into the hot white vinegar.
The iron cleaner and descaler is a special cleaning pen for the care of the sole plate of every iron. It cleans and descales all easy-glide sole plates and also increases the irons capacity to glide smoothly. For a more thorough clean, use a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar – not forgetting to wipe the vents clean afterwards. The pack also contains a measuring cup for filling the water reservoir and a carrying / storage bag.
You can use it on all metal, Teflon and Silverstone coated soleplates – just be ready with a clean, pure cotton tea towel that you’re prepared to throw away, and be warned that it might take a few repetitions to get rid of the most stubborn marks. Vents can be easily cleaned with a cotton bud: simply dip it into some fresh distilled water and clean out each steam hole in turn. Especially good for hard water areas, this product can also be used on kettles – and we like the fact that it’s environmentally friendly, BUAV approved, not tested on animals and approved by the Vegan Society. Dual Voltage 110V/220V Perfect for dressmaking, needlework and handicrafts, and also makes a great travel iron.Alternatively, empty out any water left in your iron and pour in distilled or filtered water until it’s a third full.
