Switch off the straightener and unplug it. For a rechargeable model, turn it fully off and disconnect its charger.
Let the plates and body cool completely. Never touch a hot plate just to test its temperature.
Check the manual and prepare a soft, lint-free cloth. The cited ghd and Dyson models permit a lightly damp cloth, but other models may differ.
Wipe the plates gently without scrubbing. Use the edge of the cloth for corners, keeping moisture away from openings and electronics.
Avoid abrasive pads, sharp tools and corrosive cleaners. Never immerse the device or spray liquid directly onto it.
Store or reconnect only after the plates and handle are completely dry. Stop using a device with damaged coating or electrical faults.
