Question: Iron query. I was trying to find the best way to clean the outside part of the iron that is, the part that actually heats up and irons the clothes. It seems to have spray starch build-up. thanks, -- dye. Galloway@gte.net (Ref:0195)
Answer#1: Iron Gunk Remover Tip -- I'm not sure where your from but in the US, WalMart stores now carry a product that removed the stuff from the underside of the iron. The come in small 1 ½" to 2" tubes. You heat the iron, put the stuff on the hot iron, wipe away stinky stuff (for me its stitch witchery since I quit using it) with a cotton cloth that can handle the heat. Then when it cools down, I use a soap/water rag to clean it again. This product at Walmart is usually where they sell the tub hangers and there are two tubes per package for less than $2. Also, peanut butter will remove gum. It dissolves it. I managed to fall asleep when little and my mom/grandma used it to get the gum out of my hair without the need for a buzz job hair cut!

Answer#2: Iron Residue. I just had this problem w/a brownish residue. I tried polish remover, Avon
skin so soft, and more. The solution was right in front of me! Liquid dish detergent was the last thing I tried and it work quickly and easily! I just put it on a warm wet cloth and wiped off the residue. Try it! -- S. L. Hood' monospamtherhood@penspoplepc.com Feb 16 2006Question: Carpet repair. How do I repair a cigarette burn on my carpet? -- Sam and Dave samanddave@bresnanlink.net (Ref:0196)
Answer: Carpet Repair. Here's what I did: Trim all the cigarette burn part away with fingernail (cuticle) scissors. Go to several other places in your carpet and snip pieces of it. Superglue these little snippits into the burn place. Check the repaired place again in a day and add more snipped pieces if you think you need to. -- BillyEltonnospamAlanMe@wmconnectnsp.com 10/05/2005
