How does a steam iron work what components does it contain?
An electric iron is merely a resistance element built into a casting (normally aluminum) - the soleplate. A steam iron works by facilitating the controlled release of water onto the heated soleplate. As you know, this happens by pressing a button on top of the iron handpiece. When the button is pressed it opens a 'tapered needle valve' which then releases water from a water reservoir. This water slowly dribbles onto the soleplate. The soleplate will have been treated with a suitable surface treatment (that affects the surface tension of the water) causing it to instantly vaporize, which is the steam that is then vented through the small holes you can see in the soleplate.
How do you clean a scorched iron?
Before you begin to clean scorched iron, it is important to know that you need the following item in hand:several pieces of clean clothvinegarsalta stovea panStart by setting the stove on low heat. next, put the pan on top and pour equal amounts of salt and vinegar. You need to heat continuous until it turns to a paste. Use this simple mixture by rubbing it right onto the soleplate. Now, make sure that the iron is unplugged before cleaning it. After rubbing the mixture, with the help of a nice, clean cloth wipe the unsightly scorch marks off your iron.
How do you clean melted fabric off the bottom of your iron?
We used to keep a block of paraffin wax wrapped in cheescloth. Once in awhile, we would run the hot iron over the wax and wipe off the residue. This resulted in a slick, clean iron. To remove melted plastic and fabrics, heat at low setting just until material softens, and scrape off with a smooth piece of wood, a wooden spatula or half a clothespin. If some remains, make a paste with baking soda and water and rub or try silver polish. Wipe off with damp cloth. For a non-stick soleplate, rub gently with nylon mesh pad and suds. Acetone or nail polish remover may remove melted polyester. [Info from the Home Maintenance And Repair Database at the Michigan State University website] Fabric stores carry an iron cleaning product in the notions department. It is a thick cream that is applied to a hot iron and rubbed around with an old towel. I've used it for years. The name is iron-off, I think it is made by fritz. YOu can also clean molten plastic off a nonstick iron with a bit of salt. Put a tablespoon of salt onto a paper towel, and scrub the hot iron onto it. I'm a very careless ironer and often have to spend time freeing the soleplate from a build up of melted fabric ( I presume that's all it is- anything else would clean off easily with a damp rag?) I've tried all the methods above ( most of which basically scratch the stuff off- not what you want with a non-stick soleplate) and found that on a teflon soleplate the thing that works best is nail polish remover; dunk a wadge of cotton wool in the polish, then wrap it over the end of a wooden spatula, then you can 'scrub' hard without burning your fingers and it REALLY DOES work! I was afraid the polish might damage the teflon, but so far it looks intact. Hope this helps someone.
