I agree with the magic eraser.

The magic eraser is great! It also works well for lots of other problems--nor does it take a lot of scrubbing to get good results.

Does the iron need to be warm for the magic eraser to work? I use unscented Bounce sheets to get fusible glue off, but the iron needs to be warm.

thanks,
Charlotte

There is also a product, Iron Off, I believe it is called. Works a charm. Spread the goo on an old rag/washcloth; use a VERY hot iron and wiggle the iron over/around the goo. Takes off any residue. If it's a stainless steel soleplate and is scratched either/as well, you can use a lower temp on the iron and press over wax paper. Will help replace the 'slippery' on the soleplate.

I like magic erasers and use them lots. BUT, I wonder what is in them that makes them 'magic'? I don't think I want to know...

I went with the magic eraser and it worked fine . So thanks everyone for all your suggestions. I am going to save them in my favorites there are so many different ones.
