Steam vents are clogged with mineral deposits. vinegar run thru self cleaning oesn,t seem to help

If your Morphy Richards steam generator iron is experiencing intermittent steam and you suspect a blockage in the hose, here are some steps you can take to address the issue:

1. Check the water tank: Ensure that the water tank is filled with clean water and that the water level is adequate. Low water levels can affect steam production. If necessary, refill the water tank.
2. Examine the steam settings: Verify that you have selected the appropriate steam settings on your iron. Some models have different steam intensity levels, so make sure you have set it to the desired level.
3. Check for blockages in the hose: Disconnect the hose from the iron and inspect it for any visible blockages. Use a long, flexible brush or pipe cleaner to gently clean the inside of the hose and remove any debris or mineral deposits that may be causing the blockage. Ensure that the hose is securely reattached to the iron after cleaning.
4. Clean the steam vents: Over time, steam vents on the iron's soleplate can become clogged with mineral deposits or fabric fibers. Use a cotton swab or a soft brush to clean the steam vents, removing any buildup that may be obstructing the steam flow.
5. Perform a thorough descaling: While you have already used white vinegar for descaling, it's possible that there are still mineral deposits causing the blockage. Consider using a commercial descaling solution specifically designed for steam irons. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the descaling solution to effectively remove any scale or deposits that may be affecting steam production.
6. Contact customer support: If you have tried the above steps and the issue persists, it may be best to contact Morphy Richards customer support for further assistance. They can provide specific troubleshooting steps or advise on potential repairs or service options.

Remember to always follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines when cleaning and maintaining your steam generator iron. If you are unsure or uncomfortable with any aspect of the troubleshooting process, it's recommended to seek professional assistance to avoid potential damage or injury.

The reason that distilled water is suggested it is the mineral deposits that are in the water.
Any other kind of water than distilled has more, and possibly a lot more minerals than distilled.
That means, it might depend on how soon you can no longer use your iron, as it is clogged with mineral deposits.
How much minerals are in the spring water is anybody's guess, some more, some less.
God bless your efforts.

I suspect that the iron is clogged with mineral deposits. This happens when ordinary tap water is used - more so if your tap water is "hard". First and foremost, buy a gallon of DISTILLED water.

Cleaning it is very much like cleaning an auto drip coffee maker. Empty the iron into the sink. The first method is to pour white vinegar into the reservoir and set the iron to the hottest setting. Tip the iron flat to allow steam to escape. Press any buttons that allow blasts of steam, too. The vinegar will dissolve minerals on the inside of the iron and clogging the holes on the bottom of it. If all holes are cleared after the first time, flush DISTILLED water thru the iron. If not cleared, you can try this second method: Fill it with vinegar again and leave it sitting flat in the sink - unplugged - over night. In the morning, refill with vinegar as needed and try the first method once more. It should be clear at this point. Flush with DISTILLED water.

You can prevent this from happening again by using DISTILLED water only in the iron. There are NO minerals in DISTILLED water, which are left in the iron when water is boiled off inside it.

Most steam irons can be cleaned deposits by emptying the water and replacing with white vinegar. Let it heat up and use the iron as normal - but on cloth rags instead of clothing. The vinegar breaks down and dissolves the mineral deposits inside that are responsible for sputtering and stains. You can reduce or even eliminate these deposits from forming by using distilled water instead of tap water in the iron - otherwise - run vinegar thru it when it starts acting up. The vinegar "trick" works great on coffee makers, too.

A solution of white vinegar and water is a good cleaner for irons. Steam irons get clogged with mineral deposits, and vinegar works well to dissolve those deposits. Make a 50/50 solution of the vinegar and water and pour it in the iron, and place the iron on steam, allowing the solution to work thru the iron. You may have to do the cleaning a few times, depending on how clogged the iron is.

For future reference, use distilled water in the iron, because distilled water does not contain any significant amount of minerals. Distilled water can be found in the supermarket in one gallon jugs.

Steam irons can become clogged with mineral deposits. Use distilled water in the iron to minimize these deposits.
To clean the iron , use 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 water. pour in iron and place iron on steam. The iron may require a few cleanings.

Your steam generator my have mineral deposits that are clogging the steam openings. One of the easiest things to do is to pour out the water and add white vinegar. Let the vinegar sit for about 2 hours. Then turn on the iron and press the steam button until the deposits are loosened and flushed by the heat and steaming vinegar. Do this on a towel or other absorbent fabric so you don't stain your ironing board. You may need to unplug the iron, let it cool and then gently **** the steam vents with a wooden skewer or toothpick.
I hope this helps you. If it does, please rate my suggestion!

The iron is probably clogged up from mineral deposits in the water. Fill the iron with a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar. Heat the iron and let it set for awhile. Then steam the solution through the iron. Repeat the process if this does not work. If the Vinegar and water does not work, then try a product such as Lime Away or CLR to remove the deposits. After the iron is cleaned out, try using distilled bottled water in the iron, to reduce the mineral build up.
Hope this helps you!

Your iron may be due for a cleaning. After awhile the ports inside the iron become clogged with mineral deposits.

Try using a mix of 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 water. place the mix in the reservoir and allow the iron to heat up for steam until the reservoir is empty. Then do a second round with plain distilled water. Clean the the iron plate of residue after it cools.
If the vinegar mix does not work (and you can do the mix a few times) try using a product such as "Lime Away" or "CLR" to dissolve the deposits. Hope this helps.

Steam irons get clogged from mineral deposits left from the steam. Try using a 50% mix of white vinegar and water to clean out the iron. Place the mixture in the iron and let it heat to steam. Do a second round with plain distilled water, and clean the iron bottom plate after. If this doesn't work, try a product such "Lime away" or "CRL" to dissolve the minerals.
