Ruined iron w/fusible webbing
I'm in the middle of fusing webbing unto t-shirts. This is a quilt for my DIL and her association with MOPS. Guess I wasn't paying too much attention and what I ironed was not the fusible type. My iron now has stuff all over it. What do you use when trying to clean gunk of the surface? Will try anything.

I've tried this method with success, let iron cool completely and use alcohol to clean it. It should come right off. Once it is all off will heat the iron and use a piece of wax paper to make my iron glide on the material.

Let it cool completely and then go at it with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I have used the Rowenta iron cleaner also but usually use the magic eraser. And purchase an appliqué pressing sheet! I got mine at Joann's with a coupon. I use it whenever I am using any type of fusible. No more fusible on my iron since I got it. Now, fusible on my ironing board cover because I had the wrong side of the fusible touching it is another story!!!!

After you get the gunk off your iron, get out your parchment paper. Put a length on top of your ironing board, use another length of parchment between your work product and your iron, and this won't ever happen again.
