Rowenta Garment Care Accessories, Cleaning Kit for Steam Iron, Non toxic, Improve the Soleplate Glide, Starch or Melted, Synthetic Fiber Remover

This kit is amazing. I thought my Rowenta iron was ruined with hard scale and crud all over the plate and clogging the steam holes. I followed the kit's directions, and after a few minutes of mild rubbing, the sole plate and the steam holes were pristine clean. Also, I expected that a substance designed to descale would be full of caustic chemicals. To my surprise, it is comprised of glycerin, polyethylene glycol and paraffin wax--all pretty innocuous substances. What a great product!

Great product

Works as it should.

The hot iron cleaner seemed to work well on my dirty soleplate. I washed the white and the green cloth together (separately from other garments as instructed), but the green dye ran and now I have a light green cleaning cloth :/

I was skeptical at first but My Rowenta iron looks brand new!! Highly recommend

Arrived quickly and was exactly what I needed to clean my iron.

This product works like a charm when used as instructed. We have a 3 year old Rowenta steam iron with a stainless sole plate. Over time, it had accrued such a build up of cruft that it was leaving marks on clothes. I tried different cleaning techniques I had found online with limited success, so I went ahead and bought a cheaper Shark iron. The Shark failed within about 6 months (the steam button became stuck) and I was back in the market for a new iron when I stumbled upon this, quite by accident. Let me tell you, this stuff works. I did have to use more of the tube than the instructions had indicated, but I also had a HEAVY build up. It took a bit of doing, but that sole plate is absolutely as good as new and the iron works like a champ once again. I bought a second kit, just in case - but it looks like I won't need it just now.The stuff comes with two cloths, one is terry and the other is like a microfiber-type. It also comes with a tub of cream-colored treatment (a generous amount - I was able to run through 4 "cycles" and have some left over. First, you have to empty the iron of water (you don't want it steaming) and then set it on the 3 dot setting (cotton). You layout an old cloth to protect your ironing board, fold the terry towel in half and lay out a bead of the cream about 2 inches in length. Once the iron is good and hot, begin ironing on top of the cream in a circular motion - you'll start to see the "crud" collect on the terry towel, keep going. I did it for a solid 5 minutes and found that most of the build-up was gone. I rubbed the sole plate down with the microfiber cloth and then laid out a second bead of cream on the other side. Again, the build up transferred to the cloth. I had just a tiny bit left, so I did it a couple of more times, alternating the side of the terry towel I was working on. Eventually, it got the iron back to new condition, with not a speck of crud on it.Anyway, as with anything, it pays to READ the instructions and understand the process before you get started. I paid a good $70 or so for this iron, so the kit is well worth the money to keep it running like new.

Love this brand and this particular iron.
