Whatever my DGS used my iron on it is not coming off and I used the eraser, SOS pad, liquid detergent and the real no-no scrapping and I knew that was wrong. I haven't tried the paper bag and salt or the old dryer sheet, thanks for those kind reminders.

I keep a Mr. Clean Eraser by my ironing mat along with a squirt bottle filled with water. When I get something on my iron or a starch buildup, I lightly spray the sponge and run the hot iron over it. Cleans like a charm.

You ladies are awesome, I had tried the wax paper and along with the other hasn't work, but I forget about the Soft Scrub. I will try that and the brown paper and salt and see if that works for me. Thank you all.
