I didn't think it would work on my soleplate as it was pretty dirty. But it worked within seconds and I now have a sparkling clean soleplate. Does have a nasty odour, but worth it for the results.

After not being able to find my old White King iron cleaner I finally found a replacement, or so I thought. What a disappointment! Toxic fumes during the cleaning, toxic fumes after the process. No ingredients listed either. After all this, read the Phillips PR department joke about the issue when refusing to answer someone's question as to the ingredients. Their reply was "top secret" and a

The fumes omitted from this product were overwhelming and smelt so toxic. The fumes made me cough for hours and I still feel sick after using the stick this morning. This product cannot be safe - I want the manufacturer/distributer to address the questions consumers have about the dangers of the fumes.

Hi - can someone please tell me how to use the cleaning stick as the instructions on the pack are next to useless. Do you apply the stick to a hot iron? I tried this and then wiped the iron with a slightly damp cloth but it made no difference at all - very disappointed!

Finally a product that does what it claims. I thought price of $8.00 a bit too much but at least it did the job. would like to know what the ingredients in it are, did have a strong smell.

I 'just' caught a dress because I had the iron too hot. Tried a few on line suggestions for getting the melted fabric off the soleplate of the iron - no good. Thought this was the end of a very good/expensive iron. Searched a bit deeper and found a link for this product. Initially had trouble finding it in the shops, but today I managed to buy one. Within 15 minutes of being home my iron was back to brand new - love it and couldn't be happier. Thank You Phillips!

I bought this product to save my new Philips Azur Performance plus Iron (great iron)

The soleplate became sticky (my fault) The cleaning stick worked a treat now the plate is as good as new.

Tip: do small spots at a time and be mindful of not getting excess into the steam holes.I held the iron on its side and in a downward position to make sure I did not have problems. I never had lasting smoky fumes, I used the steam function on a piece of material after and now the iron is great.

This stick did clean my iron's soleplate, but while cleaning it emitted disgusting, smoky fumes which filled my whole house. Now every time I turn on my iron it emits the same fumes, which are so strong and foul I can't use my iron anymore. I have tried everything to try and clean it but the wax from the stick must have left some kind of residue on my iron. I called Philips customer service but they refused to help. Thanks Philips for ruining my $120 iron.

I too used this stick on my Tefal soleplate, and it made it really clean. However, I wasn't prepared for the foul smelling fumes that the product gave off when applied to the warm sole plate. The instructions do not warn you about the fumes nor do they say what is in the cleaning stick so am left wondering if the fumes are harmful.

I had a problem with the black soleplate of my Tefal iron and it's so terrible it smudges off on the clothes. I tried scrubbing the soleplate with metal scourer, watching youtube tutorials how to remove the dark soleplate and nothing helped. My last resort was this small stick and hoped it will work because I don't want to buy a new iron because Tefal is a bit expensive and it's only 2 yrs old. I followed the instructions and voila! The black stain vanished as if it was never there. I felt silly doing all of those stuff, when there is this great product that is cheap, small and effective. This gem saved me heaps of cash from not buying a new iron. Thank you.
Cheap and really works
