I've tried every one of these suggestions. I spent more on products (Mr. Clean eraser, iron cleaning kits, etc.) than the iron was worth. In the end I had to replace it.
I hope you have better luck! |
Got most of it off with a combination on wax paper and Mr. Clean sponge...still a bit on there, so will try again with a warm iron and the wax paper.
|
I use an iron cleaner, comes in a tube at Wal-mart, works great!

Dryer softener sheet is magic. Even for lots of fusible web buildup. I am not even carfull anymore about the web. I just iron over a dryer sheet and presto just like magic, all the gunk is gone!!!

Heard salt on a paper bag. Not tried it myself.

Use fabric softener sheets from the dryer. It works every time.

Got this tip at LQS and it works....use a dryer sheet. Right out of the box any brand. Works great.

yup. damp towel here, too. |
Faultless makes an iron cleaner, but if you have a dryer sheet, put it in your ironing board with something old under it , get your iron hot and iron back and forth over it. In just a few minutes it will be good as new.

I've tried this too and it works very well
|
It works!
|
i use those iron clean sheets but ive heard dryer sheets work just as good.

Vinegar is good and baking soda. I saw on fons and porter to use the cleaner designed for the no scratch cook tops to clean your iron.
