To clean any leftover fusibles on an iron, dampen a terry washcloth and sprinkle a teaspoon or so of salt on it. Then run the heated iron back and forth over the salt...anything stuck there is scrubbed off safely!

or

Use fabric softener sheets to clean fusibles from your iron. Heat your iron, no steam and iron the fabric softener sheet until the fusible is removed. It may take several sheets and perfume-free sheets are better as they do not smell when the iron touches them.

or

Alcohol wipes are wonderful to clean the fusibles off your iron. (You could also use rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball.)

or

Tin foil is great for cleaning a Teflon iron. Crumble up the tin foil and then open it back up and move your hot iron back and forth on the foil. You can even mush up a tip on the foil and clean out around the holes on the bottom. This does not scratch the iron.
