Iron Soleplate Cleaner

Easy to use and very effective at getting brown stains off iron base

I used this product on a fairly new steam iron with severe scorch marks on the base plate. The product was effective and successfully removed the marks. A word of caution, you have to use this on a very hot iron, so please dont attempt this indoors. The smoke and smell given off was significant and the product warns against the dangers of inhaling it.

I really rate this because it works. It's easy to use but I find you do have to give it a bit of elbow grease. I use it by folding an old tea towel into four and draping it over the very edge of the ironing board. Put a small amount of the iron cleaner on the tea towel where it's at the edge of the board then once your iron is up to temperature rub the burnt part firmly over the cleaner and the marks should start to come off. Depending on how burnt the soleplate is you may have to repeat the process a few times putting more of the cleaner in a different place on the tea towel each time, ( I keep an old tea towel specifically for this job and just wash it when I do my cleaning cloth wash ) There is a bit of an unpleasant smell whilst using the cleaner but it doesn't linger. It's worked for me every time I've used it and I always keep a tube of this in the cupboard.

Works really well

The soleplate of my iron was quite badly scorched so thought I would give this product a go. Having read the instructions I decided to take the hot iron into the garden in order to have maximum ventilation. The paste certainly didn't work immediately & required several applications but got there in the end with it & the iron is looking so much better! The fumes are certainly a potential irritant & I would advise anyone using this product to ensure they carry out the procedure in a well ventilated area.

I am very sceptical about things like this so didn't take a before picture! I really wished I had after I'd done it 🤦🏻‍♀️ It worked a treat 👌🏻 I hung a flannel over the edge of my ironing board. Put a line of the paste on the edge where it hung so I could get more pressure and control over where I was cleaning. It did smoke and smell a bit but nothing like I was expecting from reading some of the comments. It did take a bit of time but it was very satisfying to see the gunk coming off, I could have stayed there all day doing it, lol! I did use 3/4 of the tube so if I were you I'd buy 2 so you always have one available. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Very easy to use, can smoke a little bit is very effective

This is an excellent product .. I bought this as I had dropped a hot iron .. that landed face down on to a rug ... which meant it picked up pile from the rug; this cleaner removed all the mess from the rug .. and much more ... iron plate hasn't looked this clean since I bought the iron ... very, very pleased with this iron cleaner.
