Method 1: Quick Vinegar Wipe
- Unplug your iron and let it cool slightly (warm, not hot).
- Dip a cloth in white vinegar.
- Wipe the iron’s soleplate (bottom surface) to remove residue or scorch marks.

Method 2: Steam Self-Clean (For Steam Irons)
- Fill the water reservoir with half water, half vinegar.
- Turn the iron to high steam and let it steam over a sink or towel for 5–10 seconds.
