Help I got a little carried away while trying some applique now I have a iron with a brown sole plate it's a shark if that matters. Any ideas from all my mentors on here :roll:
|
A Magic Eraser works pretty good for cleaning the sole plate.
Once I used oven cleaner it took a lot of goo off. |
Magic eraser or used dryer sheets.
|
used dryer sheets
|
Dritz brand hot iron cleaner, @joann's or walmart sells one too in a tiny tube. you put some on an old towel and iron over it, if its bad it will take several times, make sure to move to a clean spot on the towel
|
works best when iron is warm
|
I have the Drizt stuff but haven't tried it yet. Hope you're able to get your iron clean.
|
Have used all three methods. The magic eraser works great. I thought the fabric sheets took a little more work and with my sore hands, I'll go with the easy way every time. Good luck.
|
I always use very fine steel wool and vinegar or water. Make sure any residual vinegar is wiped off with water and a soft cloth afterward.
I'll try the magic eraser too! |
I'll have to try the magic eraser on my iron. I know it takes off lots of things but hadn't thought of it for the iron. Always learn something cool on here.
|
should the iron be cold when you use the magic eraser? Or warm? I got a little heavy handed with starch on flannel yesterday :(
|
Thanks so much for all the GREAT Tips! I am going to try magic eraser first it's what I have on hand. I had tried dryer sheets but used a new one and that made it worse lol should have checked here before my bright ideas
|
Iron a dryer sheet, then wipe the iron on a towel. Works like magic.
|
I have a brown teflon soleplate and use rubbing alcohol. Works great.
|
I always use a baking soda paste and lots of elbow grease!
