Can you use apple cider vinegar in a steam iron to clean it?

It is not recommended to use apple cider vinegar in a steam iron to clean it. Apple cider vinegar is an acidic substance and can damage the internal components of the iron, such as the heating element and the water tank. Additionally, the vinegar may leave a residue on the iron that can affect the quality of the ironing.

Instead, it is recommended to use a commercially available descaling solution or distilled water to clean a steam iron. These products are specifically designed for cleaning irons and will not damage the internal components. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your iron for proper cleaning and maintenance.
