 How to Clean Your Iron
Starting with the iron, it's important to clean it regularly to prevent any residue from transferring onto your fabric.
-
Begin by unplugging the iron and allowing it to cool down completely.
-
Take a soft, damp cloth and wipe the surface of the iron to remove any dust or stains.
-
Next, use an iron cleaner, such as our Iron Cleaner. Apply the solution to a cloth and gently rub the affected areas.
-
Be careful not to scratch or damage the soleplate.
-
Finish by wiping the iron with a clean, damp cloth to remove any cleaning solution residue.
How to Clean Your Sewing Machine
Now let's move on to cleaning your sewing machine.
-
Start by turning off the machine and unplugging it.
-
Remove the needle, presser foot, and throat plate to access the bobbin area.
-
Use a small brush or a mini vacuum with a brush attachment to remove any lint, dust, or thread remnants from the bobbin case, feed dogs, and other moving parts. Be thorough but gentle to avoid damaging delicate components.
-
Finally, reassemble the machine, insert a new needle, and run a few stitches on a scrap fabric to ensure everything is clean and running smoothly.
