This simple trick is certainly much more effective than water and toothpaste. The cleaning process is also easy and safe, of course.

Brilio.net - Irons are equipment that emit high heat. That's why there are a number of clothes or fabrics that should not be ironed, because they can melt. If this happens, usually fabric materials that melt easily will stick to the iron and make this tool no longer slippery when used.

Many people try to clean sticky stains on the iron by washing it with water or rubbing it with toothpaste. These two methods are not necessarily safe to use, especially if you use water, there is a risk that water could enter the ironing machine and cause a short circuit. Well, you don't need to worry because there are other tricks to get rid of sticky stains on the iron.

One of the tricks was shared by a netizen in a post on the TikTok account @qitara.id. After all, this trick is easy to practice because it only relies on one type of kitchen spice.

The first thing you have to do is heat the iron first. While waiting for the iron to get hot, you can prepare a piece of paper. Then, sprinkle the paper with a handful of table salt. Yup, salt is the main kitchen ingredient for practicing tricks for cleaning sticky stains on an iron.

When the iron is hot, gently rub it directly into the salt. Gradually, the sticky stains on the iron will fall off due to rubbing against the salt. Do this process several times until the iron shines again.
