    I agree with the magic eraser.

    The magic eraser is great! It also works well for lots of other problems--nor does it take a lot of scrubbing to get good results.

    Does the iron need to be warm for the magic eraser to work? I use unscented Bounce sheets to get fusible glue off, but the iron needs to be warm.

    thanks,
    Charlotte

    There is also a product, Iron Off, I believe it is called. Works a charm. Spread the goo on an old rag/washcloth; use a VERY hot iron and wiggle the iron over/around the goo. Takes off any residue. If it's a stainless steel soleplate and is scratched either/as well, you can use a lower temp on the iron and press over wax paper. Will help replace the 'slippery' on the soleplate.

    See Sharon Schamners youtube about cleaning the iron with the magic eraser. Works great

    I like magic erasers and use them lots. BUT, I wonder what is in them that makes them 'magic'? I don't think I want to know...

    Red face bottom of iron/thanks

    I went with the magic eraser and it worked fine . So thanks everyone for all your suggestions. I am going to save them in my favorites there are so many different ones.

    Thanks again.
