How do I clean burnt-on fabrics from my Teflon iron?

Surely every housewife is faced with the problem of contamination of the surface of the iron. Previously, a woman had to figure out how to deal with her, but now, in the age of high technologies, the worldwide network has collected many ideas on this topic. We have combined the most effective and simple ones in this article.

Most often, the fabric burns under a household appliance due to an incorrectly set ironing mode. Many external sides of branded products are protected with a special Teflon coating, which, according to manufacturers, helps to avoid overheating of the fabric and prevents it from sticking to the electric iron.

Teflon is a very popular material now, it is used almost everywhere, it has slip and at the same time strength. The service life of goods with such a shell is much longer than that of metals or ceramics. The only drawback is that it is easily injured by mechanical stress, therefore it must be handled carefully and carefully.

The procedure for using this tool:

• We take out the reagent, if it is already in store, if not, then we run to the nearest household goods store and buy, not forgetting to turn off the unit before leaving.
• Arriving home, we put on gloves so as not to damage the sensitive skin of the hands, because the pencil contains acid.
• We heat the iron to the maximum in an upright position.
• We run to the balcony, if there is one, if not, then to the kitchen under the hood, since when cleaning, fetid vapors are released, and we do not want to get poisoned.
• We rub the outer part with a miracle remedy, avoiding getting into the steam holes.
• We wipe it clean with a cloth, and that's it, our worker is ready for further tests of fate.

In the pharmacy, this tool is called Hydroperit, but do not ask too much, otherwise you, a modest housewife, may be suspected of making explosives and ask for passport data. We buy one die and run home. Algorithm of actions:

• Open everything that opens in the house. This remedy is also poisonous.
• We spread some rag on the ironing board, which is not a pity to throw away.
• We crush all the tablets into powder.
• Pour the grains over the surface of the fabric in a shape that resembles the surface of an iron.
• Pour water into the liquid hole and heat to medium temperatures.
• Unplug it from the outlet and put it on a platform made of urea peroxide, click on the steam generator, and run to the balcony so as not to breathe in vapors.
• We repeat several times if necessary, wipe the sole with a damp, then dry cloth.

If the burn is fresh, it cleans perfectly, if you have been smoking Teflon for several years, you will have to clean it all night.

So, we heat the iron, turn off the power, put it on a napkin at an obtuse angle and three candles, letting the streams of molten paraffin carry the dirt home. At the end of my "face" ironing under warm water, to remove the remaining wax. We dry it with a rag and admire its reflection.

A pencil and a candle are not always available in the bins, and urea peroxide was not sold to you, but a piece of laundry soap seemed to be lying around somewhere in the bathroom. Good old, it contains alkaline salts of saturated acids and foams well. It is best to use a bar with a fatty acid percentage of 72, it is best for soaping. Time to act:

• We set the thermostat to the middle mark and heat the device.
• We put it at an angle to an unnecessary rag and unplug.
• We carry soap through dirty areas, here you need not get burned, the soap melts and flows onto the fabric along with the fumes.
• We clean the sole with a damp cloth, then wipe it dry and remove the iron to its rightful place.

The pollen clogs up in the steam holes, so you need to do the following after cleaning. Dilute vinegar at the rate of a tablespoon of 9% acetic acid per glass of liquid (or you can lemon juice - a sachet per glass), pour moisture into the steam generator and press the steam release button, ironing a kitchen towel, for example.

The option to have the experience in your own apartment is always tempting:

• We take a regular window cleaner, spray it on the surface of the device, and wipe it with a cloth.
• We moisten a cotton pad with a nail polish remover, wipe the places with smoke, the reagent dissolves the fused fabric and cleans the surface.
• Wipe dry with a rag and once again go through the substance for the windows.

If you are not intimidated by working with fetid reagents, then you simply must try this remedy. Ammonia is another cheap drugstore, this time not so harsh vacation conditions. The process looks like this:

• Pour water and heat up to maximum.
• Wipe the bottom with a cotton pad soaked in ammonia solution.
• With a wooden spatula, carefully remove the carbon deposits, trying not to scratch the already tortured surface.
• We make a soapy solution and moisten a napkin with it.
• We iron it with a hot iron.
• If the steam vents are clogged, punch them out with a toothpick.

It can help in the fight against dirt not only on teeth and gums, but also on Teflon. One has only to smear the bottom of the worker with paste, dry it and wipe it with a disc abundantly soaked in hydrogen peroxide to remove its remnants, as your "friend" will sparkle with unprecedented purity.

Not every housewife has such a scraper, but if you have not tried everything in the fight against burnt fabric, then go to the store in search of it. Already bought, but do not know what to do with it, then follow the step by step instructions:

• We heat the iron to the maximum.
• Scrape off the carbon deposits with smooth, gentle movements. The lumps are peeled off from the hot surface of the iron and transferred to a cold shovel.
• We clean our scraper from dirt.

If you are tired of cleaning your friend from burning, remember the following:

• Be careful with the temperature setting, as your carelessness may cost you your favorite blouse.
• It is better to iron delicate materials through gauze soaked in water, and wool through a cotton cloth. It is safest to steam a silk cut. Beloved workaholic at the end of the work should be wiped with a damp cloth.
• Read the recommendations on clothing tags. The manufacturer knows exactly how to handle the product.
• Make sure that resins and adhesives do not get on the sole of the electric iron, which can also burn and leave a mark especially on light-colored fabrics.

Use standing or boiled water for steaming, as scale often forms on the surface of the iron due to the hardness. Regular table vinegar will help fight it. We mix it with 2/3 of water, soak a cotton rag in this slurry and put a unit on it, preheated to medium temperatures. Let's press and leave him to be friends with a rag for ten minutes. During this time, a chemical reaction will occur and the plaque will dissolve with acid. It remains to wipe the soleplate with a sponge to remove any remaining scale.

Can be used for these purposes citric acid powder. Prepare a solution of one teaspoon per glass of water, dissolve thoroughly and pour it into the water heater compartment. On an iron preheated to the maximum, turn on the steam function, work for ten minutes, then rest for fifteen minutes. So several times, then we iron the old rag, wait for it to cool down, wipe it clean. If the scale has gotten into the holes, then we scroll through them with cotton swabs, abundantly moistened with one of the solutions.
