CARE+PROTECT Steam Iron Soleplate Cleaning Sticks - Universal - Professional Descaler - Ideal for Removing Limescale and Dirt Residues - Pack of 2 Sticks - White

It is straightforward to use and works very well. Be sure to use it in a well-ventilated area, it can generate white smoke and a particular smell when using it so be sure to open windows and have good airflow. I have 2 irons, one for the house and one for travel. The house Iron was pretty bad and it looks like new after using it.The package comes with 2 x sticks and one stick was enough to clean both irons. Use the stick wait 15 seconds and wipe with a damp cloth, be sure to do that because if it drips it is like wax. It's easy enough to clean, but why make things more difficult than necessary? If you have a steam iron make sure to turn the steam on and pump the extra steam a few times to get any residue out of the holes otherwise it will get a bit smokey when you use it after cleaning it. Overall I was very impressed.

At first, I tried the liquid and didn't understand why people were complaining about the smell as the liquid doesn't smell.However, the stick DOES! It was not working at first (as I didn't read the instructions properly!) I put the iron on the hottest setting then unplugged it! You must leave it plugged in and the stick only worked when I put the heat on maximum - my goodness the smell is horrendous (best to describe as foxes' wee!).Anyway - I don't know how long the iron had been caked brown! Who knew more steam would come out and the iron would glide smoothly?!The smell is still there though not as bad if you have it on a lower setting which I tend to use. I do think the smell will go over a few uses.It's a shame they didn't put more sticks in the package, you only get one though you get around 6 of the liquids.My iron is at least 10 years old - so the results were good - I didn't realise it had stripes on the front! lolBTW - I’d recommend putting something like an old cloth at the base of the iron because the stick drips along with all the brown stain and it hardens on the surface - so wipe off straightaway! 4* due to the smell!

Really worked well and cleaned the iron

The roll removes stuck stains from the iron effectively, but the smell it emits is very unpleasant. I have also observed that the same part where you use the product becomes stained again even if you don't burn anything.

Amazing. My iron was black. Ready for a new one. Beware of the chemical smell. Do it with the door or window open. Iron is like new.

Perfect product. Thanks

The product works but smells really bad and smoked up the iron so much it set off the heat alarms.After a few uses the iron still smells and smell so strong it has caught back of my throat.This is an awful product and has wrecked my £150 steam iron. Stay away.

Great at doing what it says on the tin and getting rid of muck other cleaning products couldn't remove. Only 4 stars due to the vast amount of vapours that came off the iron while using the stick (despite following instructions carefully) , which had a strong smell and cloudy appearance making the smoke detector go off!
