Abstract (en)

The invention is related to a soleplate for ironing having, a steam chamber and a steam channel for passaging of steam, provided with an inner wall a steam entrance located in the steam chamber, and a steam outlet. The soleplate according to the invention is characterised in that at least a part of the inner wall near the entrance of the steam channel is provided with a non-stick layer. Keeping the channels open is important for the performance of the iron. Applying the non-stick layer prevents adhesion of lime-scale to the inner wall of the steam channel and keeps the steam channels open for a longer time. This increases the life time of the sole plate and hence of the iron in a simple manner. The invention further relates to an iron having a body and comprising the soleplate according to the invention.
