If you have an oxidized solder iron tip, it is important to clean it as soon as possible. This will help to prevent any further damage to the tip and the soldering iron itself.

  1. Open the iron’s handle by unscrewing the top screw.
  2. Remove any build-up on the tip by using a mild soap and water solution. Be sure not to get any on the iron itself!
  3. Replace the oxidized solder iron tip with a new one as soon as possible.
