The Magic Eraser was amazing!! Tried the other methods on UA-cam . . Salt, fabric softener sheet, etc. The Magic Eraser took all the glue on the sole plate off!! Thanks
This worked really well for the lighter spots; however, I did end up using something like a scotchbrite green abrasive pad with just some water to get the really tough spots. Both combined worked really well. I will definitely have to use the magic eraser more often and not let it build up next time. The vinegar and water solution worked great in my reservoir to clean out the internal gunk. Thanks so much for this video!
How many of us are here because we have glue on the plate from interfacing? Please tell me I’m not the only one. 😂
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
And here I am using an iron, made in the '70's, found in a thrift store It has a cord that's braided, someone (not me!) used the sole as a hammer once considering the dents, the base is crooked, the handle is missing the tip and the light is broken.
I love it so much. I don't have to worry about water or lime scale build up, when the sole is dirty, I just have some steelwool that I iron over and it's clean again.
The Magic Eraser is genius! So fast and easy! Thank you, Erica!
Why didn't I think of this?! I use magic erasers for everything, including the inside of dingy mugs. You're a genius. I don't have hard water deposits because I NEVER use anything but distilled water in my steam chamber. I just grab it at the grocery store. I did have a mess of old gross starch though. I used the eraser on a cold iron as you suggested and it was gone in two swipes! Unbelievable. No iron cleaners necessary. Thank you so much Erica for all your great videos.
So easy! I actually had my iron on high and scrubbed it with Magic Eraser. My iron plate was dark brown... within a couple of minutes, it was clean! Thank you!
Buy a tube of Fautless hot iron cleaner in the laundry dept of your box store. Comes in a 1 ounce tube and works great
I was ironing my interface to make FaceMask and some of the glue got stuck on my iron. 🤦🏻♀️ Tried using Mr Clean Magic Eraser on a cold iron and was very pleased with the result. The glue was completely removed and I’m going to try the 1/2 water and 1/2 distilled vinegar. I’ve got some calcium deposit coming out of the iron hole so that’s next. Thank you for sharing.
I have glue on my new stainless Rowenta. Aftaid to mess it up. .
You just saved my iron! Thank you so much ❤
Wow! We also have very hard water. Great to know about the vinegar & magic eraser. Thanks so much.
Magic Eraser works fantastic!!!
WOW! JUST WOW! Was ready to pitch the iron (wifey was NOT HAPPY with me making a mess of the iron!) and gave the Mr Clean Magic Eraser a try - everything came off like it was nothing.
This works!
LOL! Glad it worked for you!
Wow this really worked thank you .I’m renting apartment with a iron included my apartment and the iron was very dirty , so I did what you said and it work great! 😊
i love your wireless iron!
Worked great! But then I noticed other areas of my house that needed eraser! So on we go to clean. lol
Magic Eraser worked like a charm! Very quick!
Erica! Thanks for the pro tip! Also is it bad that I didn’t even know that cordless irons exist?!? 😄
It’s a Panasonic. I have one and love it 😍
it worked perfectly, thanks so much !
Thank you going to try this on my new and old iron! Hopefully I can save my old iron!
The magic eraser is great but when heated produces harmful chemicals! It should only be used when the iron is cooled completely
She said that in her presentation to use it when cool.
Hi Erica! I'll give it a try...was just about to throw it out the window!
Genius!! Thank you for the quick solution.
Thanks and warning! Used all tips to clean the fusible interfacing and wool pressing mat fibers from my iron. Also needed to use a putty knife for some resistant fibers. Unfortunately, the intense heat from the vinegar/water steam cleaning on the towel cracked my dining room table top😥. Pandemic losses and lessons. Pressing on with face mask production. Be careful and safe.
Oh goodness!
I tried the magic eraser n It works with a lot of patient 🙏🙏
Just tried the eraser, works great! Thank you
Magic eraser trick totally worked!! Thank you so much!!
Excellent presentation 👏
don't use tap water. use distilled water instead. no buildup
She said that!
My Rowenta says no distilled. Hummmm. ?
@@cybersecretary I have noticed that some of the newer irons are saying that you can just use tapwater now
Vinegar and water always good for cleaning the holes 😜
Wow, like seriously, Thanks for the illustration! Very Helpful :-D
It really does work thanks for sharing this video
I had been wondering if I could put Vinegar in the reservoir. I'm going to go clean my iron!
Try the liquid *Goo Gone* instead. It's non abrasive. I removed burnt nylon off my faceplate at lowest temp setting. I soaked a black t shirt with th goo goose and rubbed surface and it wiped off immediately. I prefer this over magic eraser or any other king of abrasive.
Really worked. Awesome!
Looks vary easy to do.

I have a brand new iron, used maybe 5ish times and right in the top middle, it’s like it’s burnt. From day one when I plugged it in, it had a smell to it and figured it would eventually go away. It still hasn’t! I followed the manual yet that happened and still happening. I’m throwing it away if the magic eraser doesn’t remove that thing even when it cost me nearly $100 (cad). It’s a Black & Decker Professional Steam iron btw. I need to get back to sewing and this is costing me time and money.
Oh, sorry, I would try and contact them to see if they warranty their products.
@@erica_arndt It worked, however steam only comes out from a few holes which is weird because all holes are visibly clear. I went and bought another iron, but I will definitely use this for my new iron once it requires cleaning. Thanks!
That's a very unique iron, my I know where did you purchase it from??😊
It's this one: amzn.to/3T3izFy
Thank you 😊
Geesh, your iron is already nice and clean.
What kind of iron is that? I love it !! No Cord!! :)
It's a Panasonic Cordless, here's the one I have: amzn.to/2f20HYy
Erica Arndt ty hon
Awesome solution! Thanks so much.
Thanks Erica! Worked great.
Thank you! Magic Eraser did the trick!
thanks
Your iron looks so lightweight. ❤️May I ask what name brand?
It is this one, I do like it especially that it's cordless, but it stopped heating as well after about a year of hard use: amzn.to/3mMe3dC
I now have this one instead and love it! amzn.to/3qCXS3K
I will give this a go although my iron is tefal plated so hope it works as well
what is tefal plated?
@@rickjames5998 similar to a Teflon frying pan, totally different surface
Thank you for your help!
Fantastic, thank you!
how do you get the white scuff marks that are on the iron plate??
so I have a question? Why couldn't you use the magic eraser on the soleplate first then warm us the iron and clean all the steam holes?
That might work too :)
Thank you, - I have another question - have you seen you're iron doesn't stay hot or doesn't heat up enough?
Nope, it stays hot really well, if you're pressing a lot of pieces you may have to put it back on the base for a few minutes before continuing on, but for my normal quilting needs, I feel like it did great!
That's a strange looking iron. What brand is it??¿
Panasonic Cordless NI-WL600 and I LOVE IT!! amzn.to/2yjKbxZ
Nice how often should I clean my iron? I just cleaned mine using your tips, : ( was it clogged.
I don't know, I just clean mine when it starts looking like it needs it :) Or after I use fusible batting. That stuff tends to gunk up my iron!
Erica, I tried cleaning my iron's face using toothpaste, and some of it dried up in the small holes, and got stuck there. The distilled white vinegar and water technique did not seem to work, so what should I do now?
I would try the Magic Eraser, those things get off almost anything!
Erica Arndt Will do, and thank you, Ms. Erica!
Erica, I just try first vinegar: minimum or not result at all after I put toothpaste and started to produce a chew gum smell getting stuck a put salt in a paper surface; again little success.
Why not try with coarse salt?
Perfect! 👏👏👏👏👏
I have this same iron and I tried to iron a nylon hair band and it melted to the iron would the magic eraser work on that?
Oops! I would try it and see :)
My husband got it off. When it cooled it got brittle and he gently flaked it off with a wooden skewer. That was about the dumbest thing I have done in a long time. Lol!
just warm up the iron, place aluminium underneath it and spray oven cleaner on it watch the gunk just melt off.
Devoy Williams aluminum foil..I dont have any Mr. Clean in the house. I will get some though
EXCELLENT
"If you have a bunch of stuff in your holes" sorry, that tickled me 😂... I need to grow up.
Of course, you can do it however you like! :)
Thanku
Awesome 👍
DID NOT WORK, please give more description like how long to scrub with the magic eraser and does it have to be the name brand or can it be a non name brand magic eraser. Thanks
Is this kosher
What kinda iron is that?
It's this one: amzn.to/2HvImAj
Obsessed with your hair :)

You may have saved my marriage.
