I have build-up on my flat iron from products that were in my hair. How can i clean it off without scratching up the metal?
Use a damp wipe AFTER you unplug it. You don't need like special equipment or anything. Just let the plates dry before you use the flat iron again. Hope this helps. :)
I think we did this experiment at school, i think it was Distilled water - no rust Tap water - very rusty Chemical - Slightly rusty pretty sure that's right, if not, i'm sorry. :)
Same with me. I took a damp wash cloth an scrubbed the plates and then for the hard-to-get-to areas I took a Q-Tip and dipped it into rubbing alcohol. Then let it completely dry before turning on . Good Luck :]
How To Clean Your Flat Iron Cleaning your flat iron will help keep your iron working at it’s best by removing any caked on build up from hair products. ALWAYS make sure that before cleaning your hair straightener that it is turned off and cool. With a soft, dry, clean cloth gently wipe down the plates of your flat iron. Never use anything sharp to clean the edges of the plates as this will scratch the plates. If there is build up in the creases cover your fingernail with the cloth or use a dry cotton swab to get into the smaller sections of the iron. Storage of your Hair Iron When you are done using your hair iron always be sure it is unplugged and let it cool before storing it anywhere. Do not wrap the cord around the iron, instead, loop the cord together and secure with a twist tie or elastic. If you are travelling and taking your flat iron with you always be sure to let it completely cool down before putting it any type of carrying case or bag.
