there is black sticky stuff on my iron and it dirtens my clothes when i iron, what is the most effective way of removing it?
depends on the type of vehicle some of them you need a special tool
all you need to do is heat the iron and rub it over an old cloth if it doesnt all come off over the cloth, just screw up some alfoil and scrub i off while hot. Alternatively spray the hot iron element with cold water and iron on a rag untill clean
Heat the iron to at least a medium heat, place kitchen towel (not terry) on the ironing surface. Place a one foot square piece of WAXED paper. (You can find this in foil and plastic wrap section of the grocery store). Quickly run the hot iron over the WAXED paper and onto the kitchen towel until the iron is clean. You can turn the piece of WAXED paper over for additional cleaning. Make sure you use WAXED paper and NOT plastic wrap. The wrap will melt and make a really big mess.
