How to clean a teflon-coated iron from burnt cloth?

Surely every housewife was faced with the problem of contamination of the iron surface. Previously, a woman had to think for herself how to deal with her, but now, in the age of high technology, the worldwide network has gathered a lot of ideas on this topic. The most effective and simple we have combined in this article.

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

Teflon is very popular material now, it finds its application almost everywhere, has a slip and at the same time strength. The 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 influences, therefore handle it carefully and carefully.

The procedure for using this tool:

• We get the reagent, if it is already in stock, if not, then we run to the nearest household goods store and buy, without 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 up 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 offensive fumes are released during cleaning, but we don’t want to get poisoned.
• Rub the outside with a miracle cure, avoiding getting into the steam holes.
• We wipe clean with a cloth, and everything, our hard worker is ready for further trials of fate.

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

• Open everything that opens in the house. This remedy is also poisonous.
• We spread a rag on the ironing board, which is not a pity to throw out.
• We push all the tablets into powder.
• We pour the grains over the surface of the fabric in a shape resembling the area of ​​the surface of the iron.
• Pour water into the hole for the liquid and heat to medium temperatures.
• We turn off the outlet and put on the platform of urea peroxide, click on the steam generator, and run to the balcony so as not to breathe fumes.
• Repeat several times if necessary, wipe the sole with a damp, then dry rag.

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

So, we heat the iron, turn off the power, put on a napkin at an obtuse angle and three candles, allowing the streams of molten paraffin to take away the dirt away. In the end, my “face” is ironed with detergent under warm water to remove wax residues. Dry with a rag and admire its reflection.

A pencil and a candle are not always in the bins, and urea peroxide was not sold to you, but a piece of laundry soap was 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 percentage of fatty acids - 72, it is best washed. 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 disconnect from the network.
• We take soap over dirty areas, here we must not get burned, the soap melts and flows onto the matter along with the burning.
• We clean the sole with a damp cloth, then wipe it dry and remove the iron in its rightful place.

The pollen is clogged in the steam holes, so the following must be done after cleaning. Dilute the vinegar at the rate of a tablespoon of 9% acetic acid in a glass of liquid (or you can lemon - a bag in a glass), pour moisture into the steam generator and press the steam output button, ironing a kitchen towel, for example.

The option to conduct an experiment in your own apartment is always tempting:

• We take the usual window cleaner, spray on the surface of the device, wipe with a cloth.
• We moisten the cotton pad with nail polish remover, wipe the area with the burnout, the reagent dissolves the melted fabric and cleans the surface.
• We wipe dry with a rag and once again we go through the substance for the windows.

If you are not afraid of working with malodorous reagents, then you simply must try this tool. Ammonia is another cheap pharmacy, this time not such harsh vacation conditions. The process looks like this:

• Pour water and heat up to the maximum.
• Wipe down 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 soap solution and moisten a cloth with it.
• Iron it with a hot iron.
• If the holes for the steam outlet are blocked, punch them with a toothpick.

It can help in the fight against pollution not only of teeth and gums, but also of Teflon. One has only to smear the bottom of the worker with paste, dry it and wipe it with a disc liberally moistened with hydrogen peroxide in order 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 cloth, then go to the store to look for it. Already bought, but don’t know what to do with it, then follow the step by step instructions:

• We heat the iron to the maximum.
• We scrape away soot with smooth, gentle movements. Lumps come off from the hot surface of the iron and go on a cold shovel.
• We clean our scraper from dirt.

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

• Carefully set the temperature, as your carelessness may cost you your favorite blouse.
• It is better to iron delicate materials through gauze moistened with water, and wool through a cotton cloth. The silk cut is the safest to steam. Upon completion of work, the beloved workaholic must be wiped with a damp cloth.
• Read recommendations on clothing tags. The manufacturer knows exactly how to handle the goods.
• Make sure that tar and adhesive substances do not get on the sole of the electric iron, which can also burn and leave a mark especially on light fabrics.

Use steamed or boiled water for steaming, as scale often forms on the surface of the iron due to stiffness. Regular table vinegar will help fight it. We mix it with 2/3 of the water, soak a cotton cloth in this liquid and put the unit on it, preheated to medium temperatures. Press and leave him to be friends with a rag for ten minutes. During this time, a chemical reaction will occur and the coating will dissolve with acid. It remains to wipe the sole with a sponge to remove residual scale.

Can be used for these purposes citric acid powder. We prepare a solution of one teaspoon per glass of water, carefully dissolve and pour into the compartment of the water heater. On the iron, heated to the maximum, we turn on the steam function, work for ten minutes, then rest for fifteen minutes. So several times, then iron the old rag, wait until it cools down, wipe it clean. If the scum has clogged into the holes, then we roll cotton swabs in them, abundantly moistened with one of the solutions.
