How do I clean the bottom of the IR03v steam iron?

Have not had a problem so far so I can't answer, perhaps clean with a vinegar solution. I also have a tendecy to agree with the other answer, Its not the greatest iron but for the price I could toss it and not feel guilty.

Honestly, this purchase was a waste of my money. During my first use, water was spitting all over the place and left white flaky residue all over my close. The bottom of the iron is very tacky and did not iron smoothly over my clothes. Also, this iron is very light, but not in a good way. It is light in a "poor quality, cheap" kind of way. I guess you get what you paid for. None the less, disappointed. Sorry, I don't think I actually answered your question about how to clean it, but if you can I'd just return it and buy something better.

I've looked online and found nothing yet. Perhaps someone (even I) will find the pamphlet that comes with it and put it online somewhere. Maybe a specific question about operation or cleaning could be answered for you.

I clean my EAA Witness Elite in mine. Pick up some of the gun cleaner solution though, I used just water and dawn, it did a great job but the metal started to rust before I could get it all dried off and sprayed down with tri flow. Its the same cleaner that Hornaday sells just a lot less. I clean all kinds of things in it, from cpu heat sinks to handguns

We have a tru infrared, with cast iron grates and it works very well. Hubby does the cleaning and is quite happy with it.

The best technique to clean it is to use half and half mixture of vinegar and water. Set it high and then keep 'puffing' the steam out until all the mineral deposits vent out of the holes.

The top part I clean. For the bottom I line it in Heavy Aluminum foil (the thicker brand). I don't wash the bottom, just throw the foil out. Its not too bad to clean.

Pull water container and insert back. Sometimes that does not fit properly and does not produce steam. Use only filtered water. My is perfectly working so far.. Call Black and Decker for trobleshhot your problem...Good luck

Yes, I too faced this problem with my Black & Decker iron. The model is Quick 'N Easy 460. I thought it is the mineral deposits from the water being steamed and is quite irritating, but has happened only recently.

Just used dry cotton wipe it or put some water on dry cotton to wipe it. Do not need to rinse the metal head with tap water.

Simply untwist the clear container at the button of the steamer and empty the container. I am referring to the clear container where the metal circular heating device is. That clear container can be removed and be screwed back in very easily. You will always have water left in that clear container after every use.

Hello preferably use distilled waterbut the iron has a system Vents Stay-Clean system and if you could use tap waterAn anti-calcium system Prevents steam vents clogged by Reducing the sediment build-up in the vaporizing chamber of the iron.Thank You!!

Clean it like you clean cast iron cookware. Immediately wipe with cloth or paper towels, rinse with oil dampened cloth or paper towel, if necessary use oil soaked course salt to scrub with and wipe with salad oil dampened cloth or paper towel. If you damage the surface, rebuild it by using salad oil wiped over it and warming it in the microwave for a few seconds and let cool, then wipe with cloth or paper towel, just never soak or leave immersed in water as that will leave water in the surface that could damage the pans when heated.

On Rowenta DG5030 Pro Iron Steam Station's instructions clearly says that you have to empty the water tank after cooled and after each use. No matter what kind of water you use.

Unplug the unit and take it to the sink, pour the old water out then take the unit apart, I use about a Tablespoon of vinegar mixed with about a cup of water take an old wash cloth and wipe around the inside, it will have a built up of water deposit around the heating element and where it get's really warm at, I take an old toothbrush or cotton swabs and try and get as much off as I can but you won't get all of it off and that's ok. and pour a little of the cleaning solution in it then rinse all out of everything. I do this once a week. To keep the water deposit from building up use distilled water. Then fill the tank up and it's ready to use. Hope this help's.

I would clean it with "Bar Keepers Friend". That works with most discoloration on stainless steel.
