I use fabric glues for embroidery and quilting, and also lots of starch and sticky paper for applique. I bought a SMALL tube of iron cleaner at my local quilt shop and with a wet rag clean the bottom of the iron every few days or so and it works instantly and perfectly. But BEFORE I bought this, I used your husbands method trying to be careful...oh yeah, it worked all right, but I do have scratches on the bottom of my iron. Guess they haven't hurt anything...yet. But I was afraid to keep doing this. I mentioned it at the store and they lead me to their cleaner. Said it was every quilters best friend, lol. It's something I can't do without. Little tube lasts a LONG LONG time too as you just need a little dab. Have no idea what's in it though.

It helped a lot. To keep the iron smooth, mama would rub beeswax over the hot iron and quickly rub the excess off on an old cloth. She kept that cloth handy and occasionally would pass the iron over the cloth. This was NOT a steam iron and was not teflon coated. Really made ironing much easier.
