These areas should be wiped clean using a soft cloth.

Stubborn soils on the soleplate may be wiped off using a cloth that contains a mild detergent or water. In particular, the soleplate can become soiled if glue or other adhesive materials are used when pressing. To remove this residue, heat the iron and run the soleplate over a cotton rag.

Do not use scrub brushes, polishing powders, thinners, benzene, bleach or other harsh cleaning materials.

To avoid scratching the soleplate, never place the iron on rough surfaces such as zippers, metal fasteners, etc.

Use a dry cloth to clean any dirt and debris from the pins.
