I use rubbing alcohol to clean my irons---works great

I dropped my iron on carpet and you can guess what happened. Melted carpet covered the entire iron. I put a dryer sheet with a little water in a pan. Set the iron in it and let soak. Not all came out, but the I used ironing cleaner and finished the job.

I've used dryer sheets, too, and they get all the goo off, but I've found that they leave a bit of a residue that you need to iron off on an old piece of muslin or something.

Sounds like something I would do....lol

I use a product called Never Dull magic wadding polish BUT if you have a Teflon coated iron you can not use this . I have also heard people say to use a fabric softener sheet to get the sticky stuff off.

I am using dryer sheets for "paper" peicing

I save up a bunch, press nicely and am ready to go and....my iron gets cleaned at same time

Helloooooo! is anyone there? I lost my connection.

Mr Clean Magic Eraser...works great!!! In the grocery store in the laundry isle....not at Wal Mart.

:mrgreen: I have always used Dritz Iron-Off and found it to do a great job. I think I am going to try some of the other suggestions however just to see how well they work.
