After years of ironing fusible stabilizer and fusible fleece and fusible web in my projects, and being less than careful, my iron was gunky on the bottom. This weekend I decided it was time to clean the iron, or at least attempt to.
This whole process is with the iron OFF! I started with soaking a couple of paper towels with white vinegar. I left it there for about an hour.
Then I added baking soda which acted as an abrasive, and swirled it around into a paste so it wouldn’t just fall off.
Then using the paper towel with the baking soda paste, I scrubbed. It took some work, but as my husband pointed out, next time I shouldn’t wait so long to clean it!
I’m quite pleased with the results! I filled it with water and pushed steam through it until I was confident that the steam coming out was clean.
