Tips and Tricks | Dirty Iron? Try Iron Off

I hate to admit it but I have been known to muck up the household iron from time to time! Actually, it got so bad that Mr. TSL insisted I get my own iron. I swear, no matter how hard I tried to keep it clean when creating appliqués or using fusible fleece, I always left some residue on the iron.

Well, if story sounds all too familiar and you’re anything like me, you will be excited to hear about this product from Dritz.


Dritz Iron Off Cleaner



This tip is for all levels.

Skill Level- 1 Button

Supplies:
Dritz Iron Off Cleaner
cotton cloth or towel
iron/ironing board

Basic Instructions:

It is super easy to use. Let me give you the basics-
Empty water from iron and set on “cotton” setting. *It is extremely important that you do not apply to a cold iron!
Squeeze about a 2″ blob of iron off onto a thick folded cloth. (I used an old towel.)
Rub hot iron over cloth in a circular motion. If the residue build up is thick, repeat steps 1 & 2 as needed.
After residue has been removed, thoroughly wipe iron down with a clean, thickly folded cloth. *Be sure that all of the iron-off has been removed from around the edges of sole plate and steam vents before using.



The iron in photos is my old iron and boy oh boy was it dirty! Iron Off cleaner amazes me every time! I just love how this stuff cuts through all the grime with no heavy lifting on my part. Check out how much grime came off. YUCK!



Now, if your like me and LOVE your iron, you might want to clean it more often. Here is what cleaning my sewing iron looks like.



It is a must have for any household and not just for use in a stitchers world. Iron-Off can be found here or at your local sewing store.
