    Put your iron setting on warm and using a plastic spatula, shear off the plastic, and use tweezers to pull away any that is in the steam holes.

    Martin's book suggests using bicarbonate of soda (mixing several spoons into a paste) and then rubbing onto ovens to clean them. That might do?

    Oh bless you ann, you are so thoughtful. I have actually done this as well. I waited for the iron to cool and your local supermarket or robert d*yas sell a product to clean the iron. It wipes the plastic off.

    I am just checking my kim and aggie book but there is nothing else there. does anyone know of an MSE solution? I will check martin's books now.

    Thanks SW,

    Will call in at Tesci tomorrow!

    Have found an identical iron on Argos website - but I bet she'd notice the difference! Much better if I can clean it and she will never know any better!
