Goo Gone works for anything sticky.

Let your iron cool off, then spray with goo gone. Get it at walmart. Has lots of uses.

I read somewhere that you should wet a towel with vinegar then sprinkle the towel with salt and then run your iron over it. Haven't tried it myself but it can't hurt!

Thank goodness someone asked. I've got that stuff all over my iron, ironing board cover and probably the wall (lol) Now, maybe I can clean it all off.

Get a wet terry cloth and some salt. Run your iron
over the wet terry cloth and then the salt and then
back over the terry cloth and press firmly back and
forth. This should do the trick.

I have a teflon coated sole on my iron and found plain old rubbing alcohol works great. Put a little on a piece of paper towel and run warm iron over it. Clean as a whistle and no scratches on the teflon.

Try goo gone - worked like a charm on mine.

I've done this in the past, couldn't find my Teflon sheet. Now I use parchment paper during my fusing project in place of telfon sheets. Yes, it's the roll of paper found in the grocery store with waxed paper or in a baking section. Nothing seems to stick to it. I also use it when I am preparing to seal things with self-sealing laminating sheets.

I have cleaned gunk off the bottom of my iron, hot or cold with one of those Mr.Clean erasers. Saw it on a video on the web.
