I use magic eraser.
Do you use in on a cool or hot iron and with any thing else?

ive heard dryer sheets before i think

mr clean magic eraser on a cold iron works great

You can use salt sprinkled on a paper bag. and then wax paper. run your iron cold iron on the salt and warm iron on the wax paper. I know I've done this but don't remember what was on the iron.

do you use the shiny side of the wax paper or the dull side?

I find it I let the starch dry before pressing, I don't get hardly any/no build up on my iron :D:D:D

I clean my iron with a little baking soda on a damp cloth

I read to use vinegar. My iron was sticking from interfacing. Rub some white vinegar on it and all my problems went away. Good luck.

I heard that Goo Gone stuff worked-bought some and it didn't help at all-just made a mess on my hands!! Then I bit the bullet and forked out for a tube of Dritz Iron-off hot iron cleaner at Joann's (with a 50% off coupon) and it worked great!!! I use to just use salt with a hot dry iron on newspaper and it worked on my old iron - just don't use it on any teflon-coated iron. I think my ironboard cover is messing up my iron-brand new iron and I have only ironed quilting fabric-no starch, fusible, etc-and still getting "stuff" on it. Anyway, the Dritz worked!!

thanks for all the great tips. I will add them to my book of tips :) I found a Mr clean magic eraser and it did work great.
Thanks again,
