I have seen many posts that recommend used dryer sheets to prevent build-up and sticking on irons.
Easy enough to try.
Didn't have to buy anything new.
So, why did it take me so long to try it?

works like a charm!
makes an old iron like new!
I need an emoticon that smacks me on the head!
Has anybody else out there finally followed a suggestion they wish they'd tried sooner?
or is it just me?
