What do you recommend?

I also use a Mr Clean Magic Sponge.

Rowenta irons have a tube of stuff that will clean the plate. Go to JoAnn or Hancock fabrics they sell the tube. If its bad you may need to do it a couple of times to get the iron clean.

if you do a lot of fusible do what I do..I do use a teflon pressing sheet..just a cheap generic one, that works really well..but often we are in a hurry and might forget it..so I bought a cheap, but decent black & decker iron at a thrift shot for $3.00...it gets really hot, has steam so I can still do steam a seam, and if it should be ruined, no big deal...but at least I am not ruining my Maytag cordless that can't be replaced!
|
i've always relied on the "open brown paper bag and salt" method for a quick cleanup. i've never tried the "eraser"--that'll be the next try!
|
I use Boasch Iron Clean. I know Joanns has it. It works great!
