First of all let me welcome you to the QB from SE Michigan. I can't answer to you specific type of iron but in general I use baking soda to safely clean the iron. It works well. The other thing I do is use distilled water all the time in my iron. This to help because of any mineral build ups that come from other water sources. My irons are in use all the time and rarely do I have a problem since I started using distilled water.
