Brilio.net - Electric irons are generally equipped with a hot plate made of iron. This feature makes it easier for us to iron various types of clothes. However, using an iron for a long time at high temperatures can cause the iron plate to become crusty. This crust not only damages the appearance of the iron, but also makes it non-slip and interferes with the ironing process.
When the iron has burnt crust, often the clothes being ironed become sticky and difficult to tidy up. This is because burnt crust makes the surface of the iron not smooth, thus hindering the ironing process. This can make ironing work longer and more tiring. In addition, this crust can also interfere with the desired end result of the iron. Therefore, it is important to keep the iron plate clean.
To clean the burnt crust on the iron plate, many people usually use a cloth or tissue soaked in water. However, there is a more practical and effective way using only one kitchen ingredient . This trick is much easier and does not require much effort. This method was shared by a TikTok user with the account @teh4neu86, and can be a solution to the problem of burnt crust on the iron.
First, turn on the iron and set the temperature to the highest. Then, prepare an ironing board that has been covered with cloth. Also put one or two sheets of paper on top to catch the salt. Well, this salt is believed to help clean the burnt crust on the iron, you know.
"Take 2 tablespoons or more of table salt, depending on the dirt that is stuck," explained the owner of the TikTok account @teh4neu86, quoted by BrilioFood on Wednesday (18/9).

Once the iron is hot enough, rub the iron on the salt. Don't forget to check occasionally whether the burnt crust is gone. If not, you can continue the process of rubbing the iron on the salt until the crust is completely gone.
After that, just rub the iron on the cloth until there is no more salt left. The iron is now clean from burnt crust and ready to be used again.
