Cleaning your Bosch iron mainly involves addressing the exterior housing and soleplate. Here's how:

Cleaning the Housing and Soleplate

  • Use a Damp Cotton Cloth: Wipe the housing and the soleplate with a damp cotton cloth only.

  • Dealing with Synthetic Cloth Issues: If you accidentally use a synthetic cloth, it may melt on the hot soleplate.

    • Immediately switch off the steam function.
    • Quickly rub off any residue using a thickly folded, damp cotton cloth.

Soleplate Damp cotton cloth, Thickly folded if synthetic Be careful when the soleplate is hot. Avoid scratching the surface.

Important Considerations

  • Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the soleplate's surface.

  • Steam Vents: To clean the steam vents, use the iron's self-cleaning function if available, or consult the user manual for specific instructions.
