Can anyone tell me how to clean my curling iron? After using it over and over every single day it has so much build up on it from hair products etc...it looks and feels very awful and I'm sure it isn't doing my hair a bit of good. I'd like to know how to get all that gook off without having to purchase a new one...any suggestions would greatly be appreciated

Try rubbing it with a cotton ball wet with alcohol..may take some time and multiple cotton balls plus a little elbow grease! good luck!

I usually clean mine with windex and a paper towel (while it's off of course )

I'm with dollymama - I use Windex and paper towels. The amonia in the Windex helps break down the hairspray, etc. I find that if my curling iron is really bad it works better if I get a couple of paper towels damp with Windex and wrap them around the iron and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Then wipe it off

Even if the curling iron is really bad and it seems as if its burnt on?
