This $5 hack to clean your iron is genius
A genius hack to clean the rust off an iron captivated people online.
One Twitter user recently took to social media to post an image of her rusty iron before she cleaned it with a paracetamol tablet from her medicine cupboard.
The second snap shows the woman cleaning a warm iron with the pill, which she has between a tweezers.
And the end result is amazing, with the iron looking almost brand new.
The woman mentioned that she learned the clever trick from viral cleaning sensation, Mrs Hinch, who is known for having a sparkling clean house.
Last week. Beltran Cleaning posted a nifty hack for making your ceiling fan clean without the mess.

This iron, I’m embarrassed to say, was in need of a decent clean & this result was from a paracetamol tablet would you believe. The iron needs to be hot & switched on whilst you rub the tablet over it, just use tongs to hold the tablet as you do it so’s not to burn yourself! pic.twitter.com/AoMw4u8Rvq

The professional cleaning service uploaded a picture to Instagram, showing off their genius technique.
“Cover a blade of your ceiling fan with a pillowcase then wipe,” they wrote.
“This will prevent dust from getting everywhere.”
The best thing about it is that you can get a pillow case from Kmart for as little as $4 and then just throw it in the wash when you’re done with it.
It’s not the only amazing hack we discovered when we went digging around on Instagram, as the place is a treasure trove for those who like to keep their abodes looking fit for a prince or princess.
