The lemon + toothpaste duo: a surprising combination
At first glance, no one would think of combining these two ingredients. Yet, they make a formidable team for restoring a clean and shiny sole.
Lemon, thanks to its natural cleaning power, helps dissolve deposits and small particles of dirt that dull metal. It provides immediate freshness and helps restore shine.
Toothpaste, on the other hand, acts like a soft micro-eraser: its fine particles gently polish the surface, while its texture helps to dislodge what has become ingrained over time.
The result? A smoother, cleaner sole and, above all, restored glide, almost like new. A true old wives’ tale brought back into fashion!
How to use it without making a mistake
This simple method requires no special equipment or expensive products. It only takes a few minutes and a light touch.
- Start by cutting a fresh lemon in half. Choose a juicy one, it will do all the work!
- Then place a small amount of toothpaste directly onto the pulp: the mixture will create itself naturally, without any additional preparation.
- Make sure your iron is completely cold, then gently rub the soleplate with the prepared lemon. The movement should be simple and circular, without pressing too hard: the mixture will gently polish the surface.
- Next, wipe with a damp cloth to remove any residue, then dry the device thoroughly. And there you have it! The surface regains a surprising smoothness and a shine you thought was lost.
An effective cleaning tip that makes all the difference.
