I need to know how to clean my straightener, does anyone have any ideas? It has alot of build up on it. Thanks!!

rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball.

I have tried that and it did nothing.

maybe you have too much build up on it. you could try scraping it off, but you'll probably end up ruining the plates on the iron.

{Removed} we had this problem.. buy some chemical relaxer (for hair) --because it contains lye, it is GREAT at taking off that stubborn scum. Make some of it, apply it to your irons, only leave on for a few seconds, then wipe clean. if it does not take it off, try a little bit more/ leave it on longer.
Don't get your hands on it though..or use gloves!

use a brillo pad, wipe with dry cloth.
