To fight it without chemicals, bet on white vinegar. Pour it into the reservoir of your iron and add a little water. Set “steam mode” and stand the device upright. When the tank is half empty, turn off the iron and let it sit for 1 hour. Finally, empty the tank and rinse with filtered water to avoid limescale.

To fight it without white vinegar or baking soda, there is a little known method, but just as effective. We are talking in particular about candle wax. So take a white candle and rub it on the slightly warm sole.
If the soleplate of your iron shows suspicious marks, take a clean cloth, lay it on a flat surface and add a good amount of coarse salt to it. Finally, carefully pass your hot iron over it and voila! The encrusted stains have disappeared. Another good grandmother's recipe? A mixture of lemon juice, baking soda and white vinegar.
An eco-friendly and simple trick to restore the shine of your iron's soleplate is to cut a lemon in half and rub the stained areas with the cut citrus fruit. Once the surface is well impregnated, pass a damp cloth over it, rub lightly and admire the results.
In addition to removing your nail polish, toothpaste is also perfect in the fight against limescale marks on your iron. The only requirement? Use it cold! Apply, rub and it's done! In short, toothpaste has a decalcifying and descaling power on your teeth as well as on your scaled appliances.
Marseille soap is perfect for cleaning your iron. For this purpose, plug in your device for a few minutes, then unplug it and let it cool down. Take a Marseille soap and rub it directly on the warm sole. Wipe with a clean cloth and admire the results!
In addition to the homemade paste made from lemon juice, baking soda and white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide also works very well for cleaning the yellowed soleplate of the iron. A few pschitts are enough to restore it to its full brilliance.
