It is important to regularly clean the iron if you need to have clean and crisp clothes after ironing. Clean the exterior. By keeping the exterior clean will help in preventing unnecessary transmission of dirt that gets to the clothes that you iron. Start by wiping the exterior with a cloth dampened with water. If there are some residues on the exterior, then wiping it with a clean cloth dampened with a mild dishwashing solution is ideal to do.
