Do you have a teflon iron? I don't and I'm pretty sure that a dryer sheet is what's stuck to mine. :?:

I clean mine like my mother use to but not sure if it is right. I don't have teflon but have stainless steel. I use newspaper and put salt on it and rub it in the salt to remove the gook then I take wax paper sheets and rub my iron over them to get the smooth back. I have been doing this forever and never thought there was anything different. But now that you all talk about this other stuff mayber when I have to get a new iron I won't do this method.

Boy, do I feel silly, I just bought a new iron.... I didn't think you could clean them, shoot... Of course, mine was puking lime out and somehow I don't think any dryer sheet would help with that!! I know people say CLR to clean the lime out but man that stuff stinks!!! Did it to a coffee pot once and I ended up throwing that thing away too!! I just buy the cheap ones now.
