Last night in the middle of pressing the seams on a flannel quilt, my iron gave up. Of coarse it was several years old and had been well used. It was an inexpensive black and decker. I bought another one but the newer version doesn't have the sharp point on the sole plate that was on the old model. My husband decided to take the old one apart to see if it could be fixed.
This is where the shock came in. The inside of the soleplate had a thick covering of dust and lint! I am surprised it didn't catch on fire! I can't see how anything could get inside but it obviously can. I wonder if one of those cans of air would work to keep the inside cleaner? I only paid about $12.00 for the new iron at wally world so my only real concern is safety. What do you think?
