ALWAYS make sure that before cleaning your hair straightener that it is turned off and cool.

With a soft, dry, clean cloth gently wipe down the plates of your flat iron. Never use anything sharp to clean the edges of the plates as this will scratch the plates. If there is build up in the creases cover your fingernail with the cloth or use a dry cotton swab to get into the smaller sections of the iron.

What ever u do ...do not use soap.....How do you clean the plates on your hair straightener?
make sure it's off completely and wash it with a wash cloth with light soap and water. but just damp.
