I use that stuff in the tube (sorry I can't think of the name). Just a bit takes everything off. It's made for irons.

I accidently set my hot iron on the wrong side of iron-on interfacing, what a mess? I tried commercial iron cleaners too much work with too little results. A friend suggested dryer sheets and they did a great job.

Me too, it works like a charm.

I've used steel wool on a metal iron and wet green scrubby on a T-fal iron.

Dyer sheets are fast and easy and WORK great

I have used Gunk be gone, worked well.

I use the 0000 steel wool on mine too, but it takes a dremel tool and my husband's elbow grease to get it off. And it will be back in a month even without using sizing or starch. I think my Rowenta sends out spurts of very high heat from time to time. The next iron I buy with will cheap, so that I won't hurt so bad discarding it when unsatisfied.

I use salt on a brown paper bag and then run it over wax paper.

Interesting you recently posted this. I have been using Faultless premium for years and there has been very little build up on my iron (none noticed). Because I was using fusible recently I just cleaned my iron. Today I tried Niagra in the manual spray bottle. All I did was iron 300" of binding in half - I use starch when I do this to hold the fabric together while I iron it.

When I looked at the bottom of my iron it was horrible. the only part of the iron without gunk was where I actually iron the the binding in the middle of the iron.

I recently added a Steady Betty ironing board cover, but I don't think that has anything to do with it.

I suspect different starches act differently.

Yep. Dryer sheet works great.
