There is some blue liquid in the shops that you pop into your iron.. this is this the link..https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Oust-descale...756716&cguid=9e60134e12a0a0aad264bf94fca512b9

Its good stuff, just dont do it near a smoke alarm

Good old white vinegar will work as well.

Fill the iron with water and plug it in. Depending on your model, either turn the iron to its cleaning mode function (most manufactureres recommend using the self-cleaning feature once a year) or to the steaming feature.
Hold the steaming iron over a sink, with the soleplate face down, until the steam stops. Unplug the iron and leane it in the sink for another half hour to fully dry.
Or place the iron face down on a heatproof cooking rack while it steams. The steam will remove lint, dirt, dust and mineral deposits that have built-up in the steam vents.
Finish by wiping with a dry cloth.
