How to remove limescale from an iron? Imagine: your iron is like a top musician, ready for a solo performance, but suddenly realizes that his strings (in this case, the nozzles) are clogged. The result? Instead of the sweet melody of ironed clothes, we get the discordant whine of stains and drops of water. Don't let your iron mourn in silence, but help it play its most beautiful symphony again - the symphony of perfectly ironed clothes.
How to remove limescale from an iron? For this mission you will need: white vinegar (your loyal helper in the fight against limescale) and water (vinegar's best friend in this operation).

How do we orchestrate the cleanup?
- Cleaning mixture: To start, mix one part vinegar with an equal part water. This one a cleansing symphony will be ready to use in the tank of your iron.
- Filling the tank: Fill the tank of your iron with the mixture. It's like refueling before a big trip - a trip to clean nozzles.
- Heating and steaming: Turn on the iron and set it to the highest steam setting. Let the mixture work its magic while you direct the steam into an empty tub or sink. This step will be like a dress rehearsal before the main performance.
- The magical finale: When the tank is empty, turn off the iron and let it cool down. Then fill it with clean water and turn on the steam again to wash away any remaining vinegar mixture. It's like the applause after a concert when you already know you've shined.
Repeat if necessary: If the nozzles of your iron they are still not completely clean, don't give up. Sometimes even the greatest artists need more than one rehearsal. Repeat the process until the nozzles are like new.
