Cleaning an iron –
How do you clean a burnt steel griddle?
One of the most popular ways to clean a burnt iron, which has a steel soleplate, is to apply table salt to it. In fact, if the soleplate is flaky, dirty and burnt, salt (and even lemon!) is ideal for this cleaning. This will avoid the use of the famous iron filing sponges that risk damaging the sole by causing multiple scratches.
The method is very simple:
- Place a piece of parchment paper on the sole.
- Sprinkle generously with salt.
- Then place the iron on high and slide it over the paper several times in different directions. Just shake off the excess salt and you’re done!
Result: without the slightest trace of dirt or burns, the soleplate shines like before!
