How do you clean an iron?

Answer by  Valentine62 (2131)

Dip a clean rag in soapy water; make sure the iron is cold and unplugged. If that does not work, use white vinegar on a rag. Lastly, lay down a piece of wax paper and with a warm iron, run it over the paper. The wax will pick up gunk.

Make sure it is unplugged. Then dab a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball or cloth. Squezze excess liquid out, then proceed to wipe the bottom of the iron until clean. For tougher stains use a damp sponge or cloth with hot water and soap mixture to loosen the grime first. Then coninue to use the alcohol.
