I use the magic eraser too. It works like...well, like magic. Nothing else does the job as well.

WOW - thanks for this tip! My DH said we should buy stock in this business as I LOVE these things. Now I have a new use.

I also use the Magic Eraser but I also bought the dry iron from HD. I love that iron. No holes to clean out and if I need steam I just use a spray bottle.

I use wax paper too - fold a large sheet in half a few times so it's 4 or 8 layers thick. Iron over the wax paper several times, then wipe iron on a bath towel. Will probably need to be repeated a few times.
