Stainless steel is durable, but it can easily turn black over time. Fortunately, a simple homemade paste can restore its shine.

Ingredients :

• • • 2 tablespoons of baking soda
    • 80 ml of cold water
    • A soft cloth

Method :

• • 1. Mix baking soda with a little water until you get a thick paste.
    2. Apply this paste to the soleplate of the iron, paying particular attention to burnt spots.
    3. Leave on for 10 minutes.
    4. Rub gently with a damp cloth to remove the paste.
    5. Dry with a clean cloth.

Bonus tip:  If any residue remains, rub with a little white vinegar for maximum degreasing effect.
