Over time, your iron collects grime, burnt marks, and stubborn residue that make it stick to clothes or even ruin them. Most people throw away their iron when this happens. But what if I told you all you need is SALT to fix it? 😲
🧂 What You’ll Need:
- 1 tablespoon of regular salt
- 2 sheets of notebook paper 📄
- A cloth or paper towel
- White vinegar
- Your dirty iron
🛠️ Step-by-Step Guide:
1️⃣ Prepare the Surface
Tear out two notebook pages and place them one over the other on a flat surface like your ironing board or countertop.
2️⃣ Add the Salt
Sprinkle 1 spoonful of salt across the top sheet. You don’t need more – just a small layer will do the trick.
3️⃣ Heat the Iron
Turn your iron to its highest temperature setting. Let it heat up completely.
4️⃣ Rub Over the Salt
Now glide the hot iron gently over the salt-covered sheet. Don’t press too hard – just smooth back and forth.
🧼 Watch the magic happen:
The salt acts as a mild abrasive that lifts off burn marks, residue, and dirt without scratching your iron.
5️⃣ Wipe Clean with Vinegar
Dampen a cloth or paper towel with white vinegar and wipe down the iron to remove any remaining debris or salt traces.
