Tips for Effective Descaling of a Philips Steam Iron

What are the Benefits of Descaling a Steam Iron?

Regular descaling is essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your steam iron. Over time, the steam holes can become clogged with deposits, causing blockages in the water drainage system. This is a common issue with all electrical appliances that use water, as the hard water in your living area contains high levels of impurities and deposits. Failure to descale the iron regularly can result in various problems, including the appearance of white or brown rust stains on clothing and water leakage from the iron. By descaling regularly and correctly, you can maintain the highest steam output of your iron and extend its lifespan.

To maintain the optimum performance of your iron, it is recommended to conduct self-cleaning at regular intervals of 1-2 months or whenever the DE-CALC light on the iron starts flashing. This self-cleaning process helps in effectively removing any mineral deposits that may have accumulated in the iron, ensuring its longevity and continued efficiency.
