Brilio.net - An iron is a very useful tool in daily routines to smooth out wrinkled clothes. However, this electronic device often faces annoying problems, one of which is its burnt iron plate. The problem of burns on the iron is often caused by several factors, including improper temperature settings and the use of the iron on inappropriate fabrics.
Well, this burnt part of the iron will usually turn black. Then when used, the part tends to be sticky and can make the clothes or fabrics being ironed burn. As a result, instead of being neat, the clothes or clothing are damaged and can have holes.
Many people then consider that an iron that is already burnt and blackened is not suitable for use . Therefore, many people then choose to just throw it away. But do you know? Actually, you can still use the iron with the help of one type of food wrapper.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Firda Kisdamayanti on Friday (23/8), the food wrapper in question is banana leaves. In the video, the banana leaves function to prevent the iron from sticking when used. Therefore, clothes or clothing can still be neat and straight even though the iron is burnt.

The method is, simply prepare a piece of banana leaf. Then heat the iron as usual. After that, insert the surface of the iron into the banana leaf that has been prepared earlier. Rub it briefly for a few minutes.

If so, use the iron to iron the clothes you want to tidy up. Now, if you want to use a fabric freshener, spray it first on the surface of the clothes. Then rub the iron on the banana leaf, then use it to iron the clothes.
The process can be done continuously until all the clothes are completely neat. However, if the banana leaf burns before finishing ironing, you can replace it with a new one. Then repeat the process until all the clothes are neat again.

Banana leaves can help remove burnt and sticky iron surfaces because they contain natural compounds that have cleaning properties. When the iron surface is heated and rubbed on the banana leaf, these compounds, especially the sap contained in it, work to soften and dissolve the residue stuck to the iron.
Banana leaf sap acts as a natural lubricant, helping to remove dirt and burnt-on layers without damaging the iron's surface. In addition, banana leaves have a slightly rough but still soft texture, which allows for cleaning without leaving scratches on the iron.
Therefore, banana leaves help clean the iron effectively, removing residue that can cause clothes to become sticky or burnt when ironed. Using banana leaves is also a safe, natural method, so you don't have to worry about harsh or corrosive chemicals that can damage the iron.
