How to Clean Melted Carpet from an Iron’s Plate

ironburnsoncarpet

Reva asked: How do I clean a carpet-stained iron plate? My iron box accidentally fell on the carpet, and the carpet fibers got stock onto the iron plate. I tried getting rid of the stain by scrubbing it, but it is stuck really hard on the iron. Do I have to purchase a new iron? Please help.

Remove melted or burned on fabrics or synthetics from your iron with this quick fix.  It may cause a bit of smoking, but the result will have your iron looking like new again!

You Will Need:

Steps to Remove the Stain:

  1. Start by removing any water from your iron if you have a steam setting.
  2. Heat the iron to the hottest temperature setting.
  3. Squirt the iron cleaner onto the cloth. You want the cloth to be moist, but not soaking.
  4. Protect your hands by wearing an oven mitt or thick, heat resistant glove.
  5. Make sure the cloth is folded and/or thick enough to protect your hand from the heat, then rub the iron cleaner directly onto the hot iron plate. It will take the stain right off.
  6. Repeat if necessary until all of the burnt-on material is removed.

Additional Tips and Advice

  • Read all iron cleaner package directions carefully before use.
  • This product may cause smoking.  This is normal.
