Islamabad: (RightNow) Continuous use of an iron often leads to black burn marks on its soleplate. These marks can damage clothes and produce an unpleasant odor.

Instead of buying a new iron, household salt can be a helpful solution. Burn marks can be easily cleaned using salt.

Spread salt on a soft cloth and carefully move the hot iron back and forth over it. This process will help remove the burn marks from the iron’s surface.

Once the marks are cleaned, let the iron cool down and wipe it with a damp cloth to remove salt particles. This method can save the cost of purchasing a new iron.

Remember to check the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions before using this method, especially if the iron has a non-stick or special coating.
