I generally use that Faultless Hot Iron Cleaner every few months.
Sometimes I use the stuff from Dritz because I can always get that at
JoAnns when the Faultless is out of stock at the grocery store.
I've used it on both irons with and without a teflon finish. No
problem either way, it worked on both kinds without scratching or
anything.
In between I keep a wet towel handy to run the iron over occasionaly
while I am starching. Keeps the crud buildup down considerably.
I do have to go at the stupid steam holes with a Q-tip and Green by
preference, Orange when I can't find Green, when I do the cleaning
with the Faultless stuff. While the iron is cold of course.

I always use a dryer sheet that hasn't been used. You can use it
several times. It is the quickest way I have ever cleaned my iron. A
bonus is that it makes the room smell good. Some of the iron cleaners
can really smell up a room.
