I sent a post to you a few days ago, but just remembered another hint on how to clean your iron. I use a wadded up piece of wax paper, especially after I iron my fabric for quilting. It's amazing how much color from the fabric sticks on the iron. Wax paper seem to do the trick without leaving a wax residue on the iron.
