Keep your guests happy and their clothes streak free by maintaining and cleaning the irons regularly. Remember to wait until the iron is cool before you begin the cleaning process. Cleaning a hot iron is not only dangerous to you, it is also ineffective. Here are a few tips to maintain a steam iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If the substance stuck on the bottom of the iron is waxy, you should turn the iron onto its highest setting and run it across newspaper until the residue disappears.<\/li><li>If the substance is oily, then just wet a rag with ammonia. Next, just rinse the iron off with some water and the gunk should be gone.<\/li><li>Vinegar works as a cleaning agent for many irons. Pour some on a clean cloth, and wipe the surface of an iron throughly. If that doesn&#8217;t work, combine vinegar with baking soda. With a soft cloth, scrub the surface of the iron.<\/li><li>You can get rid of any build-up in the vents of the iron by taking a cotton swab or a pipe cleaner and gently sweeping the residue out of the area. If you attempt to use something of a harsher nature, like a tool or a knife, you could scratch the base of the iron, causing future problems.<\/li><li>To clean the reservoir of your iron, pour a solution that is one part vinegar to one part water in. Turn the iron on. Allow it to steam for about four minutes. Drain the iron for an hour, and be sure to repeat the process with clean water before you iron any clothing items.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodgingkit.com\/product-category\/irons-boards-ironing-supplies\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"674\" height=\"211\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lodgingkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ironing-section.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lodgingkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ironing-section.jpg 674w, https:\/\/www.lodgingkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ironing-section-480x150.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 674px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iron is a commonly used item in a hospitality setting.
