White vinegar:
Dampen a soft cloth with vinegar and gently wipe the burnt surface. For best effect, warm the vinegar slightly before use.

Toothpaste:
Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the burned area and wipe in a circular motion. Remove any residue with a damp cloth.

Lemon Juice:
Rub lemon juice on the burnt soleplate of the iron, let sit for a few minutes, then wipe with a clean cloth.

Salt and Newspaper:
Preheat your iron to low heat. Sprinkle the salt on the newspaper and iron gently until the burns disappear.

Dish soap: In a bowl of warm water,
dissolve a little dish soap. Dip a cloth in it and wipe the soleplate of the iron to remove burns.

Cotton swabs:
For harder-to-reach areas, like steam holes, use cotton swabs soaked in vinegar or lemon juice.

Pairing:
Fill the iron’s reservoir with distilled water, set the steam function and “iron” with a clean cloth.

Dry cleaning:
Use a dry melamine sponge to wipe away burnt-on residue without using chemicals.
