FAQ:
Q: Why does my iron keep sticking to clothes even after cleaning?
A: It may be due to heat settings being too high for the fabric. Always match the temperature to the material being ironed. A worn-out non-stick coating can also be the culprit.
Q: Can I use metal scrubbers on the iron?
A: No—metal scrubbers can scratch and damage the soleplate. Stick to soft cloths or gentle sponges.
Q: Is vinegar safe for my iron?
A: Yes, in moderation. Avoid overuse and never let vinegar sit in the tank for extended periods, as it may corrode internal parts.
Q: What if the soleplate is badly burnt?
A: For severe burns, you may need to repeat the cleaning process or use a commercial iron cleaner. In extreme cases, replacement might be more practical.
