I have a cheap Black & Decker iron with the shiny metal bottom. I have
many, many times scrubbed the bottom of it with steel wool when it gets
all black and ucky from too much starch, fusibles, etc. If it looks
like nothing else will fix your iron, you haven't much to lose with
going after it with an energetic application of steel wool. End with
some fine steel wool to get the shiny back. I think it will be okay,
but YMMV. Good luck.

I know there's already a "cleaning iron" post going around, but this is
different. I was doing applique with WU and other similar sticky stuff.
I was very, very careful but ...you know the drill. I got some of the
sticky on my new iron (stainless bottom, not teflon). My husband went
to iron a shirt, saw the stuff and took steel wool to the bottom of my
iron. There are a few little scrapes. And now I got it sticky again in
the same place and can't get the stuff to come off. I paid $40 for this
iron expecting it to last a while. Grrrrrrrrrr. Any suggestions on
getting off the sticky? And is the bottom now permanently ruined from
the steel wool? And what can I do with this t hing to keep the bottom
clean because it seems to be constantly in a sorry state.
Wrinkledly,
