Hairspray and other hair products can build up on your curling iron. Cleaning your curling iron will prevent this build up from transferring to your hair and ensures that the iron heats up evenly. This is a guide about cleaning a curling iron.
Use iron cleaner to clean a sticky curling iron and flat iron.

How do I get hairspray off a curling iron?
By Beverly from Oswego, NY
I use shampoo on a slightly wet cloth to clean hairspray off of things. A little goes a long way.
To clean hairspray from a curling iron, even teflon coated, spray a little De-Solv-It on it, wipe with a paper towel, and you are finished. I tried this after trying alcohol, baking soda/water paste, fingernail polish remover, and ammonia. It was SO easy!

Does anyone have any ideas on cleaning curling irons? Mine work fine, but have dried hairspray and setting lotion on them. They look terrible.
