How to clean a steam generator iron

A good steam generator iron is a real treasure. That is why learning how to clean your steam generator iron properly should be one of the first things you do, so you can get the most out of it and keep it working like new for longer.

How to clean a steam generator iron with vinegar

This trick works for both a standard iron and a steam generator iron. All you need is a little cleaning vinegar from Agerul, a bowl or container and a clean cloth:

1. First, pour a splash of cleaning vinegar into the bowl or container. A splash should be enough, but the amount depends on the surface to be cleaned and whether you also want to polish and remove limescale from other areas of the house. If your iron has not been cleaned for a long time, or the dirt and limescale are heavily ingrained, try warming the bowl of vinegar in the microwave for a few seconds before cleaning.
2. Moisten the cloth with the vinegar and use it to clean the iron’s surface. You can clean the soleplate, other areas and even the base: this product is very versatile.
3. Dry the iron with a paper or fabric napkin or a clean cloth and… done! Let the incredible #AgerulEffect win you over. Your iron will look new in minutes.
