Faultless Starch 40110 Hot Iron Cleaner

This is by far the best steam iron cleaner I have ever purchased. So easy to use, just follow the instructions, and it really does bring the sole plate up as new! I won’t bother with any others in future.

This product works really well.

I was very surprised to see the stain coming off my iron but need a lot of elbow…

We were on the point of throwing our iron out and buying a new one because the plate had become black with burnt on gunge and it was no longer gliding smoothly over the clothes. I saw this product on an American 'cleaning tips' site site and was pleased to find it on Amazon at what I think is a very reasonable price. To be honest, I doubted whether it would make any difference at all to the iron but thought that for the price it was worth giving it a try. I followed the instructions and squeezed a small amount of the cream onto an old terry tea towel, made sure the iron was very hot and then 'ironed' the tea towel in small circular motions. I was totally amazed that just with the one application it removed a lot of the black burnt-on stuff. I had to repeat this four or five times and used half of the tube of cream, but it did leave the plate very clean. It did not take a lot of effort - just firm pressure - but there was a bit of smoke and a slightly unpleasant odour. It doesn't return the iron to a new state, but it has prolonged its life and saved a lot of money in the process. We have since bought another 2 tubes so that we won't run out. This is one product that I can highly recommend

…after a few cleans the coating is coming off our iron. Used as a one-off it was fine but something keeps gunking our iron up and repeated cleans haven’t been kind. Also, don’t ignore the advice about ventilation - it goes on when the iron is hot and creates quite a bit of vapour.

I rarely leave reviews but I had to with this as it’s AMAZING! I’d tried so many different things to clean my iron and nothing worked. Until I was recommended this….

Absolutely brilliant, my iron looks brand new again. Many people complained about the smell it created, but I found it not too bad. Would certainly buy it again

Being a sewer and enjoy making bag, this often means i use fusible interfacing and it is inevitable that at times, the adhesive from this goes onto my iron as in this case as per photo. In the before image, i had on previous occasions tried cleaning the iron with rubbing over with a paracetamol; this had been ok but couldn't remove all the 'baked on' remains. I heated my iron for a minute or so on the cotton setting to make sure it was hot enough then after switching off, i applied the cream onto a thick Towelling flannel and as advised rubbed the iron over with circular motions and then removed with a dry cotton cloth. As you can see, the iron plate now looks almost new again...however, the cream didn't remove some of the baked on glue on the outer edges and initially i thought it was because the ceramic coating had come off. I thought to try 'carefully' rubbing these parts with the flat end of a wooden cuticle stick from which these bits simply came away as in the end it was dried on adhesive. I am pleased with the overall result but it took a bit of effort and use of the stick...and quite a bit of the cream. I had to keep reapplying the cream and ended up using half a tube. It states in the instructions to use after each use of the iron...this would work out very expensive. Also, i guess it depends on the surface of your iron plate...mine is ceramic and i thought it would make it easier to remove the residue but considering my iron wasn't really too bad to start with...it took a bit of effort. I think the worse your iron, the more effective this cream would be. Be prepared for the 'smoke'...It wasn't until i had to go out of the room that i noticed it had actually not just stayed in the room i was in but had gone into other rooms...it wasn't a thick smoke but more a vapour like smoke but it still surprised me. The smell of the cream when applying to the hot iron reminded me of a Brillo pad smell...really quite similar and didn't really stay around too long. Overall...although being that my iron wasn't too bad to start with (but didn't glide like it used to) and it wasn't just a simple wiping, i am very glad i tried it and my iron now (until i mess it up again) glides like new again and looks and feels very clean. I was worried that being ceramic that it would be damaged but it is not at all. Definitely recommended...just be prepared to use plenty and for the smoke.

It's ok, does the job, but you need the small tissue/towel to use the product.

Ich habe Faultless Hot ironcleaner bestellt in der Hoffnung, die eingebrannten Stoffreste auf meinem Dampfbügeleisen entfernen zu können. Die Bescheibung habe ich mir übersetzt und das Bügeleisen nach diesen Anordnungen bearbeitet: Achten Sie darauf, dass das Bügeleisen heiß ist, vorzugsweise Baumwolle. Verwenden Sie kein kaltes Bügeleisen. Vor dem Reinigen Wasser aus dem Dampfbügeleisen leeren. Vorsicht beim Umgang mit heißem Bügeleisen. Drücken Sie etwa zwei Zentimeter heißes Eisenreiniger auf ein altes 100% Baumwolle Frotteetuch. Reiben Sie das Bügeleisen in kreisenden Bewegungen über das Handtuch. Auf ein sauberes Tuch und ein Tuch wischen, um alle Spuren von heißem Eisenreiniger zu entfernen. Mit leichtem Druck hat der Hot Ironcleaner alle Rückstände mühelos entfernt und mein Bügeleisen ist wieder wie neu!! Dieses Produkt ist für mich 5 Sterne Wert und vollstens zu empfehlen.
