Brilio.net - Irons that are frequently used are at risk of sticking. The reason is, sometimes certain clothing materials melt and burn. In the end, the melted fabric actually sticks to the iron. These burnt spots make the iron drag when used.
Unfortunately, sticky stains on the iron are difficult to clean manually. That's why many people choose to clean it with certain tricks, such as brushing it with toothpaste. After brushing for a while, the sticky stains on the surface of the iron will peel off by themselves. Just wipe with a dry tissue, the surface of the iron will be clean and smooth again when used.
But don't just use toothpaste, it turns out sticky stains on the iron can also be cleaned using a kitchen spice, you know. A TikTok user @sehati.homeappliances showed how. At the beginning of his video upload, this netizen showed the appearance of his iron which appeared to be covered in black stains.
"If it's like this, the intention of ironing quickly ends up taking a long time. "Because the surface of the iron is crusty and not slippery," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @sehati.homeappliances on Tuesday (9/4).

How to clean sticky iron stains.
Instead of brushing with toothpaste, this netizen shows another way to clean sticky stains on his iron. The first step, prepare a piece of paper. Then, sprinkle one kitchen spice, namely salt, on the paper. Flatten with your hands.

On the other hand, plug the iron cord into electrical power. Set the temperature and wait with the iron until the surface becomes hot. For maximum hot temperature, you have to wait around 5-7 minutes.

When the surface of the iron is hot, place the iron on the salt placed on the paper. When you move it slowly, all the sticky stains on the surface of the iron will immediately fall off without any residue remaining. This can even be seen from the change in color of the salt.

Do this process repeatedly until the ironing surface is completely clean. If so, just wipe the dry cloth onto the surface of the iron. The appearance of the iron is clean and smooth again.

Tricks for using an iron to save electricity usage.
There are several tricks you can use to use an iron to save electricity.
1. Choose an efficient iron.
Consider using an iron that is designed to be energy efficient. Some modern irons are equipped with features such as automatic temperature control and more efficient heating technology.
2. Select a suitable temperature.
Use a temperature that suits the type of fabric you are ironing. There is no need to use high temperatures for thin or light fabrics. Thick or heavy fabrics require higher temperatures, but make sure not to use higher temperatures than necessary.
3. Iron in large quantities.
If you have a lot of clothes that need ironing, arrange them so you can get them all done in one session. Irons take time to heat up and use up energy when reheating, so a large batch of ironing is more efficient than ironing several clothes throughout the day.
4. Use the right ironing pad.
A good ironing mat can help reflect heat onto your clothes, speed up the ironing process, and reduce the need for high iron temperatures.
5. Dry clothes well before ironing.
Make sure the clothes are dry before you start ironing them. Ironing clothes that are still wet will use up more energy.
By applying these tricks, you can use your iron more efficiently and save electrical energy.
