    You can use salt sprinkled on a paper bag. and then wax paper. run your iron cold iron on the salt and warm iron on the wax paper. I know I've done this but don't remember what was on the iron.

    do you use the shiny side of the wax paper or the dull side?

    I read to use vinegar. My iron was sticking from interfacing. Rub some white vinegar on it and all my problems went away. Good luck.
