Fill the iron’s reservoir with a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water. Plug it in, set it to steam, and iron an old towel or rag for a few minutes. This will help clear out internal residue and limescale.
💡 Tip: Don’t forget to empty the reservoir afterward and rinse it with clean water to avoid vinegar smell later!
✨ Bonus Tips to Keep Your Iron in Great Shape:
- Use distilled water to reduce mineral buildup inside your iron.
- Empty the water tank after each use to prevent stagnation and mold.
- Avoid pressing over zippers or synthetic patches, which can leave residue.
- Clean monthly if you iron regularly, or every few months for occasional use.

Your iron will look cleaner, smell fresher, and glide more smoothly across fabrics. It’ll also last longer, meaning no need to buy a new one anytime soon!
