How do you clean melted fabric off the bottom of your iron?
We used to keep a block of paraffin wax wrapped in cheescloth. Once in awhile, we would run the hot iron over the wax and wipe off the residue. This resulted in a slick, clean iron. To remove melted plastic and fabrics, heat at low setting just until material softens, and scrape off with a smooth piece of wood, a wooden spatula or half a clothespin. If some remains, make a paste with baking soda and water and rub or try silver polish. Wipe off with damp cloth. For a non-stick soleplate, rub gently with nylon mesh pad and suds. Acetone or nail polish remover may remove melted polyester. [Info from the Home Maintenance And Repair Database at the Michigan State University website] Fabric stores carry an iron cleaning product in the notions department. It is a thick cream that is applied to a hot iron and rubbed around with an old towel. I've used it for years. The name is iron-off, I think it is made by fritz. YOu can also clean molten plastic off a nonstick iron with a bit of salt. Put a tablespoon of salt onto a paper towel, and scrub the hot iron onto it. I'm a very careless ironer and often have to spend time freeing the soleplate from a build up of melted fabric ( I presume that's all it is- anything else would clean off easily with a damp rag?) I've tried all the methods above ( most of which basically scratch the stuff off- not what you want with a non-stick soleplate) and found that on a teflon soleplate the thing that works best is nail polish remover; dunk a wadge of cotton wool in the polish, then wrap it over the end of a wooden spatula, then you can 'scrub' hard without burning your fingers and it REALLY DOES work! I was afraid the polish might damage the teflon, but so far it looks intact. Hope this helps someone.

How do you remove melted candle wax?
If candle wax has melted onto a hard, non-porous surface, it can usually be scraped off with a blunt implement like a plastic knife. On a porous surface, however, try putting an ice cube over the wax. Wait until it melts, then remove the hardened wax. Wax melted into fabric may be removed by placing the fabric between layers of paper towels and running a warm iron over them. Replace the paper toweling as it becomes saturated with melted wax. Once the majority of the wax is removed from the fabric, if it is a garment, apply a laundry pretreatment product like Spray 'n Wash and then launder according to the garment's directions. If the fabric is not a garment and not able to be laundered, see if dry-cleaning is an option. If not, attempt to iron out all the wax with clean paper towels. Wax in carpet may be removed with a commercial wax remover or a product like Goo Gone, but realize that these products may leave an oily residue that will need to be removed by a carpet cleaner. This just happened to me. All I did was use the Mr.Clean white sponge deal and it took the wax right off my wood table. It didn't scratch or harm the wood table. I was amazed as this was a huge candle that melted on my good wood table. What a relief!

How does a steam iron work what components does it contain?
An electric iron is merely a resistance element built into a casting (normally aluminum) - the soleplate. A steam iron works by facilitating the controlled release of water onto the heated soleplate. As you know, this happens by pressing a button on top of the iron handpiece. When the button is pressed it opens a 'tapered needle valve' which then releases water from a water reservoir. This water slowly dribbles onto the soleplate. The soleplate will have been treated with a suitable surface treatment (that affects the surface tension of the water) causing it to instantly vaporize, which is the steam that is then vented through the small holes you can see in the soleplate.
How do you get melted plastic off a shirt?
It is history. The paper bag and iron is for wax. If you did that first, you just melted more plastic into the fabric. It will not come out. If you had froze it first, it might have popped off, or it may have already been into the fabric.
