I use a Brillo Pad or an SOS Pad, slightly dampened. Rub very gently on the sole plate of the iron. Take a damp cloth and wipe the residue off. Works every time for me with good results.

I have a small gift bag in my laundry room that I have started saving my used dryer sheets in. Iron cleaner, applique aid. Who knew they would be one of our favorite quilting aids.

Faultless Hot Iron Cleaner - buy it at Wal-Mart. It is wonderful. You just snap the end off the tube and spread on a terry cloth towel and then iron with hot iron. Your iron will look like new. It works great. - Cynthia

Dryer sheets for me. I don't use them in my dryer, just on my iron.......and of course, the cheapest ones I can get. As it seems, I am forever getting that stuff on my iron, no matter how hard I try NOT to.

Plain toothpaste. Make sure its paste and not gel. We all do it sooner or later.
