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

I highly recommend this product! It worked perfectly it removed all the stains. The application was simple.

The sole plate of my relatively new Rowenta iron was accumulating a dark film from all of the ironing I have been doing as I work on a quilt project that has several fabrics that have some materials that are not very iron-friendly. Despite only ironing on the wrong side, the dark material was accumulating and was incredibly resistant to coming off.I was tempted to go with a different brand of iron cleaner chemical that was half the price, but the reviews I read indicated that the Rowenta system - gunk remover paste, remover cloth, and polishing cloth - were well worth the money.In less than 10 minutes of work, ALL of the nasty gunk came off of my iron and it looks like new again! The paste and cleaning towel system was super easy to use, had no unpleasant odor, and did not make a mess at all. I seriously could not be more happy! I needed to do two applications to get all of the dark residue off the iron, but it had been accumulating for several months. I still have enough paste to clean the iron at least 10 more times and the towels are very generous in size to complete multiple cleanings as well.MONEY WELL SPENT! This product works as promised :)

Easy to use and worked perfectly to remove remnants of burnt silk on the iron plate.

Arrived in a beat up box that looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years. But the product worked well. My iron soleplate was stained with heavy stubborn buildup from what I presumed was hard water calculus that appeared following a lengthy "session" with a damp press cloth. I wasn't convinced I hadn't ruined my iron. NOTHING else worked to get the buildup off. Gave this a try....worked beautifully. Used 2 applications of a 2 inch ribbon of the cream and all of the stains disappeared. Iron is back to ironing beautifully and glides well. I did it outdoors because I read reviews about smoking/fumes. I did not have this experience. Smoked a small amount (which is normal according to package), but nothing serious.Drawback: small amounts of the cream collected in the holes and did NOT come out using the steam burst function (per the instructions). Had to use a toothpick and small amounts remained. Ran iron over a clean cloth with heavy steam to ensure future fabric won't be affected

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.

I was skeptical that anything could save my Rowenta iron; the soleplate was covered with a dark black residue. It wasn't sticky or particularly thick but it was charred and looked as though it had actually become part of the iron. In fact, I wasn't even sure it was a residue at all. Perhaps the stainless steel had become permanently discolored? I tried EVERYTHING to remove this stuff: my fingernails, a scrub brush, abrasive compounds and other cleansers. Nothing worked. I finally saw this product and decided I had nothing to lose because I was on the verge of purchasing a new iron altogether; not an inexpensive proposition when you're talking about Rowenta. Well, suffice it to say that this stuff worked beautifully. It removed every last little bit of charred material from the soleplate within minutes (seconds really). It is very easy to use. First, make sure that the iron is empty of all water and heat it to its maximum setting. Second, take the small tube of cleanser and squirt a two inch line onto one of the two cloths that comes in the box; in this case, the white terry cloth one. Then, take the hot iron and literally iron over the cleanser in a circular motion (I used some pressure). Finally, if necessary, use the second cloth (the green one) to remove any leftover cleanser (I did not need the second cloth). There was some smoke during the process but the instructions say this is normal. It took me three trys -- about half of the tube -- before every last bit of charred material was gone but the soleplate looks brand new. I highly recommend this product. It saved my iron and saved me the $100+ I would have needed to purchase a new one.
