I didn't see a caution about following your manufacturer's directions...especially when it comes to 'self-cleaning' irons.

Pulled my directions out and it said not to use 100% distilled water. Use either tap water alone if under 12 grains of hardness or 50/50 tap and distilled or bottled spring water. It also said not to use descaling agents (vinegar or other products like it) that can damage the lining of the iron.

good tips Thanks!

thanks great info

thank-you

Thanks for the helpful tip page.

The "Mr. Clean Magic Eraser" works great for cleaning your iron.

This truly works and takes almost no time. Take a fabric softener sheet and rub all the residue off. It works extremely well and is fast. Be careful as the iron needs to be on. :oops:

thanks, the steam works OK on my iron but the spray does not. I will try the vinegar. Hope it works.

Thank you for sharing this :D:D:D

Thank you and God bless.

i recently tried the new scotch brand cleaning pads designed for ceremic flat-surfaced cooktops. on a whim, i tried it on my iron's (not teflon) soleplate, too. it works like a charm.

since the pads are a bit on the pricey side, i'm happy to have discovered at least one more way to use them. :-)
