Cleaning Iron Plate
What was I thinking????? I just pressed a cloth napkin with my favorite iron, not thinking about the fabric NOT being 100% cotton. I don't know what the fabric was, but now I've got a coat of black gook on the iron plate. I've tried all the conventional remedies little success. I've got a bottle of jellied oven cleaner that does a fantastic job on my oven (got it from an industrial cleaning supply store). Dare I try it on my steal iron plate, whatcha think???

when I've done something like this (and believe me, you either have already done it or will do it one day), I've brought the cooled iron to the kitchen sink, brillo-ed it until clean, rinsed rinsed rinsed. Then, before I use it again, I iron the waxy side of a piece of waxed paper. Voila! good as new.
