I don’t know how many times I’ve heard about, read about, or been asked about, ways to remove fusible webbing and icky stuff from your the plate on your iron.

Do yourself the biggest ironing favor you can ever do – invest in an iron with a teflon plate. Nothing sticks to it and I mean absolutely nothing! I’ve tried it all. And if you can imagine the sorts of things I play with on a daily basis then you’ll realize that this is no small claim. (And no, I haven’t tried it on the cat yet.) These irons cost no more than an iron with a standard plate and will save you hours of aggravation trying to clean the gunk off.

So next time your iron dies, or you kill it accidentally on purpose, run to your nearest store and grab one – you’ll never look back.
