I've agree with this method of cleaning with dry baking soda. I haven't used it on my iron yet but use it all the time to clean the window and chrome on my toaster oven. When you finish the easiest way to clean up the baking soda residue is to vacuum it then wipe off with a clean damp cloth and dry.
