Brilio.net - The condition of the iron being burnt and crusty is one of the problems that many people often experience. This can be caused by many things, such as the iron temperature being too high or remaining synthetic material from melted clothing. Basically, when the iron temperature is too high, clothing materials can burn and stick to the surface or ironing plate. Well, these burnt stains will become crusty and difficult to clean .
Even though it's burnt and crusty, that doesn't mean the iron can't be used again, you know. You can remove the burnt stains first with toothpaste or toothpaste. A number of people usually apply this toothpaste to the burnt surface of the iron plate so that the crust peels off.
However, apart from smearing it with toothpaste, there are other ingredients that are no less effective in removing burnt stains and scale on the iron. This material was used by YouTube user my assistant through one of the uploaded videos. Reported by BrilioFood from YouTube my assistant on Monday (10/6), the kitchen ingredient in question is baking soda.

To use it, simply mix baking soda with water until the texture becomes like paste. Then apply baking soda to the iron evenly using an old toothbrush. If so, rub it using fine sandpaper until the crust comes off
"Rub as much as possible while pressing for maximum results," said YouTube my assistant.

When rubbed, the crust will mix with the baking soda and come off. Do this process until all parts are completely clean. If it's not enough, you can apply more baking soda, then rub again.

Next, clean the remaining limescale and baking soda with a rag. Make sure the surface is completely dry, OK? That way, the iron looks cleaner and can be used again comfortably without any crust.
"Actually, this is quite easy and simple because we can get the ingredients at the nearest shop, minimarket, or even our kitchen. Actually, for other ingredients such as toothpaste, salt, it can clean. But for baking soda, this is more effective and time efficient for cleaning. ," explained my YouTube assistant.

Basically, baking soda has a slightly abrasive texture but is soft enough, so it doesn't damage the surface of the ironing plate. When used as a cleaning paste, fine grains of baking soda help scrub and loosen scale stuck to the iron plates without scratching them.
