How to clean a teflon griddle effectively?
The Teflon coating on the soleplate is by far the most resistant cleaning material. Because it is very fragile and easily scratched. In this respect, you must be very careful and gentle so as not to damage the sole. It is therefore strictly forbidden to use salt or soda for this type of cleaning. It is therefore preferable to gently remove the burn by applying white vinegar, in particular. This versatile stain remover is often recommended for removing lime and limescale stains embedded in the iron. It will therefore be perfectly useful for soothing burns and making the Teflon soleplate of your device shine again.

How to do ? Here is the step by step process:

1. Apply the white vinegar to a soft cloth or cotton.
2. Gently rub the burn until it is completely removed.
3. Then wipe the iron with a damp cloth.

How do you clean a burnt steel griddle?
One of the most popular ways to clean a burnt iron, which has a steel soleplate, is to apply table salt to it. In fact, if the soleplate is flaky, dirty and burnt, salt (and even lemon!) is ideal for this cleaning. This will avoid the use of the famous iron filing sponges that risk damaging the sole by causing multiple scratches.

The method is very simple:

1. Place a piece of parchment paper on the sole.
2. Sprinkle generously with salt.
3. Then place the iron on high and slide it over the paper several times in different directions. Just shake off the excess salt and you’re done!

Result: without the slightest trace of dirt or burns, the soleplate shines like before!
