Cleaning an iron
#12
You might try a color grabber to take the dye out of the white. You'll have to wait until you get your quilt is done then wash it with the Color Grabber. They're available at Hancocks and probably other places too. I always use them when I'm washing new fabric and have never had any staining problems.

I have used this several times to get adhesive off my new iron. Works great. Can't hurt to try it, it may be just what you need. Inexpensive too.

I like Iron-Off that you buy. So far it has gotten everything off that I managed to get on my iron. It's simple to use. Just squirt some on an old towel or cloth and iron over it. Whamo, it's clean. :-)

Hi - not sure if this does work as I've not tried it, but read somewhere recently that using white vinegar on a cold iron will remove gunge. You might have to rub it quite a bit. Good luck and hope it all comes off. Agree with using the colour remover to get the red out of your white fabric.
