CARE+PROTECT Steam Iron Soleplate Cleaning Sticks - Universal - Professional Descaler - Ideal for Removing Limescale and Dirt Residues - Pack of 2 Sticks - White

It is straightforward to use and works very well. Be sure to use it in a well-ventilated area, it can generate white smoke and a particular smell when using it so be sure to open windows and have good airflow. I have 2 irons, one for the house and one for travel. The house Iron was pretty bad and it looks like new after using it.The package comes with 2 x sticks and one stick was enough to clean both irons. Use the stick wait 15 seconds and wipe with a damp cloth, be sure to do that because if it drips it is like wax. It's easy enough to clean, but why make things more difficult than necessary? If you have a steam iron make sure to turn the steam on and pump the extra steam a few times to get any residue out of the holes otherwise it will get a bit smokey when you use it after cleaning it. Overall I was very impressed.

Excellent product - apart from the smell - this product does exactly as it says it removes all the gunk off the soleplate of you iron in 15 seconds, I was amazed, where has this product been all my ironing life ? I would advise you to put the iron on a cloth that you can throw away as the brown gunky stuff slides right off on to what you have the iron standing on, also make sure you keep you fingers out of the drips they are red hot and it burns and get a damp cloth ready to wipe the iron with after the 15 seconds.The only reason I didn't give it a 5* review was the smell, its not very pleasant so if you can clean it outside and leave it there for a while I think you would benefit from that I'm hoping the smell will be gone in here tomorrow

Easy to use and works a treat. Here’s a tip: put an old cloth under the iron when you use the stick as the residue on the iron immediately turns to brown liquid. I didn’t and so it stained my ironing board cover 🤦‍♀️ rookie mistake!

It product works ok but it smels really bad.I used it for my iron, I wouldn't recommend using it in your kittle. It takes a long time until the smell is out for good and a lot of water to be changed.

Amazing. It works as described. No more burnt fabrics 😊

This has been the most effective and easy to use external iron plate cleaner I've used. You do need the iron hot enough to rub the stick on it to melt it which creates an awful smell apparantly (I have no sense of smell but I could taste it in the back of my throat and my friend told me it smelled awful so you need an external door open too. It's quick and only needed a couple of applications by the stick and wiped off cleanly. I did also use an abrasive cloth on the plate as that was needed to remove the stuck on stuff. But for that your iron can't be too hot!! Anyway, I've purchased again since so I'm happy enough with it.

Didn’t works, bought new iron instead

At first, I tried the liquid and didn't understand why people were complaining about the smell as the liquid doesn't smell.However, the stick DOES! It was not working at first (as I didn't read the instructions properly!) I put the iron on the hottest setting then unplugged it! You must leave it plugged in and the stick only worked when I put the heat on maximum - my goodness the smell is horrendous (best to describe as foxes' wee!).Anyway - I don't know how long the iron had been caked brown! Who knew more steam would come out and the iron would glide smoothly?!The smell is still there though not as bad if you have it on a lower setting which I tend to use. I do think the smell will go over a few uses.It's a shame they didn't put more sticks in the package, you only get one though you get around 6 of the liquids.My iron is at least 10 years old - so the results were good - I didn't realise it had stripes on the front! lolBTW - I’d recommend putting something like an old cloth at the base of the iron because the stick drips along with all the brown stain and it hardens on the surface - so wipe off straightaway! 4* due to the smell!
