Brilio.net - Electric irons with heating metal are a popular choice for smoothing clothes because they are affordable and practical to use. This tool is able to smooth wrinkles on clothes with the help of heat from the heating metal. Even so, this type of iron also has several disadvantages that need to be considered.

Long-term use of the iron can cause crust to form on the surface of the heating metal. This crust is formed from melted screen printing or plastic layers on clothing that stick when exposed to high temperatures. The accumulation of crust that gets thicker over time makes the surface of the heating metal uneven.

Thick and wide crust on the surface of the iron can make clothes sticky or even burn when ironed . This condition often makes the owner choose to repair the iron at a repairman or buy a new one. In fact, there is a more economical solution to overcome this problem.

YouTube channel NFS OFFICIAL TV shares a tutorial on how to clean iron scale without spending money. In his video, he demonstrates how to restore the shine of an iron using simple ingredients from the kitchen. This method is an economical alternative to repairing an iron compared to having to service or buy a new one.

As reported by BrilioFood on Tuesday (24/12), the kitchen ingredient used is cooking oil. So this cooking oil will be used as a cleaning agent for the crust. For maximum results, it is best to use clean and new cooking oil so that no new crust is left behind.

To clean it, first plug the iron cable into the plug or electrical outlet. Then turn the temperature control to the hottest part. When it is really hot, pour a little cooking oil into the crusty part.

After that, smooth out the cooking oil using a wire brush (dry). Next, rub the crust using the wire brush. When the oil starts to dry, add more oil. Then let it sit for a while so the oil can dry again.

Next, rub it again using the wire wool. To make it easier, you can place the wire wool on a wooden cutting board. Then press and rub the wire wool using the crusty part of the iron. When rubbed like this, the crust will remain on the wire wool.
