I run my iron over used dryer sheets as my first try. They must be used!!!

Yes, they come in different colors, but I like the whiteish ones because you can see through them. I have two, one for on the ironing board, one for on top of the fabric :D
Ghostrider is right too, I keep forgetting about those :roll:

I use Pig Snot chrome cleaner. I get it from my motorcycle aftermarket shop.. it's a company that makes a full line of cleaning products for motorcycles. it takes a very small amount and will take almost anything off of chrome without damaging it. I first got it to take black plastic and "shoe sole" material off of my hot tail pipes.. it is awesome stuff!! You can also find it on line.

I place a New dryer sheet on top of a scrap of fabric. With the iron hot, press over the dryer sheet and then onto the scrap of fabric. Whatever is in the dryer sheet turns very slick when the hot iron passes over it, and it tends to remove the stuff stuck onto the iron as it passes from the dryer sheet onto the fabric.

this is what I use also...

I will have to try that dryer sheet trick :)

I have always used nail polish remover, then water to clean that fusible stuff up, works just fine.

I use and iron cleaner I get at Bed Bath and Beyond. It is in a tube and is great. Cleans off everything.

I know this doesn't help with an iron that already has sticky stuff on the bottom, but......My last two irons have had "Silverstone" sole plates and fusables do not stick to it. I just run the hot iron over some waste fabric and it is clean. I found this out by accident and from now on that is what I will look for first in an iron.
