How to

1. Take a clean cloth.

2. Soak it in white vinegar.

3. Run the cloth over the soleplate of your iron.

Result

And There you go ! The soleplate of your iron is already descaled :-)

No more lime deposits clogging the soleplate of the iron! And this without chemicals and without effort.

This trick works for both irons and steam generators.

Additional tip

If your tank is also scaled up, put water with only a little vinegar (2% vinegar) in the tank then iron. By going through the iron, it will descale your iron.

If your iron is really very calcified, mix 100 ml of vinegar in as much water. Put in the tank and leave to act overnight.
