My Rowenta iron is so bad .........."How BAD is it??"
The whole plate was completely black from ironing felt and covered with Heat and Bond and all kinds of crafty ironing
that I just took out 000 steel wool and ironed over it.(with the iron ON) Then I scrubbed until everything came off. Iused it today and it's fine. Really felt that I had nothing to lose. If I didn't have another iron for regular ironing maybe I wouldn't have done it. But it's fine.
