    I read this on Tuesday, and what is the first thing I do when getting to the Fortress?... I try to press some material formally used as a boat cover. Yep, sticky, dirty mess!!! So got my magic eraser out and scrubbed, it worked, but still had to use the end of my "wooden iron" to gently rub off the heavy areas, then go back and reuse the eraser.
    Gotta love this board. Great timing!

    I tried it on my iron yesterday with high hopes but it didn't remove the very thin layer of "something" that's on the iron plate. I'm thinking it must be starch?

    Default Cleaning cutting boards.

    There is a rubber tool that is inexpensive sold in some quilt stores that is fantastic. I just ordered 4 to give as Christmas gifts from Nancy's notions. I think it was around $20 for 4.

    To clean my iron, which is stainless steel on the bottom, I use a fabric softener sheet when the dry iron is hot. Whatever is on the iron surface comes off immediately--it's miraculous!

    It would burn and melt on a hot iron.
