About this deal

The homemade ironing water can also be used as a fabric freshener. Although you do need to be careful as both the essential oil and the vodka are flammable. This means taking extra care to prevent spraying on or around any source of fire like candles etc. Using The Calc-Clean Function The best irons and steam generator irons for hard water areas are those which have a full anti-calc or calc-clean system. There are a number of products on the market that claim to descale your steam iron in the same way they can your kettle. Make your own ironing water, although you do this at your own risk. For this you’ll need a clean spray bottle, some vodka, distilled water and some essential oils. See our in-depth guide on how to create your own ironing water.

This function is designed to remove any hard, mineral deposits and all that you need to do is rinse the inside of the iron to wash them away. If your iron is getting a little clogged up with limescale and you’ve noticed that your laundry isn’t smelling quite as fresh as you’d like, perhaps it’s time you added some ironing water to your iron. As ironing water is not completely necessary, it is an extra expense that bumps up your shopping bill. To make your own ironing water you will need to mix 10 to 15 drops of your favourite essential oil with ¼ of a cup of vodka or witch hazel and leave to stand at room temperature for 24 hours. Then add 2 cups of distilled water to the mixture and pour into a spray bottle and swirl around to mix well. You can now use this to spray onto garments as you iron them.
