How to Use Faultless Hot Iron Cleaner to Remove Burned Fabric from Your Iron

Most people have used an iron on an article of clothing at least once when the iron was set too high, and if you're like me you've done it quite a few times. What's left behind after melting your fabric is a sticky coating on the plate of the iron, which can damage or stain other items of clothing if it's not removed.

Before I discovered Faultless Hot Iron Cleaner I tried scrubbing the iron (once cooled, of course) with soap pads and all I ended up doing was scratching the plate. With a significant amount of elbow grease I still couldn't get all of the "goo" left behind by the burned fabric off of the plate. At the suggestion of a friend, I went to Wal-Mart and looked around the household appliance section in search of this product. Finally, I found a small two-pack of Faultless hanging on an end cap. At around $3.00 I decided to give it a try and hopefully save myself the money for a brand new iron.

Using Faultless Hot Iron Cleaner is very simple. After emptying the water out of the iron, turn the iron on. (The product should be used on a warm iron.) Empty one tube of the cleaner onto an old (but clean) towel. Then wipe the cleaner over the residue on the surface of the iron until the plate is clean. (The "smoke" that comes off of the iron during cleaning is normal.) After that, wipe the surface with a clean section of the towel to remove any of the cleaner that remains on the plate. It's that simple! This product has been a lifesaver, because I often "burn" my clothes while ironing and could have easily spent hundreds of dollars over the years buying new irons.

According to this product description on Amazon, this product is safe for all metal irons, as well as irons with Teflon plates and can also be used to remove starch deposits on irons.
