I received the "kit", two cheap cloths and a very small tube of cream. This is supposed to be a repeat process done on a hot iron and it is a slow process that leaves a lot behind. It may work but you would have to be very patient and still it may leave some burn traces behind.
The simple alternative, get a small tube or bottle of FLITZ METAL POLISH and your iron's stainless steel sole will be clean in under 2 minutes. A German invention Flitz has been around for years and is inexpensive and available from your local hardware store or from old reliable Amazon.com.

I don't know what everyone is complaining about. If you follow the directions, it works like a charm. It took like 2 minutes, if that. I think that most folks are not following directions on the use of the iron itself. We have softened water and a reverse osmosis system, which is what I use. Hard water will cause issues that cannot be removed by this cleaner. Squirt a little of teh cream on the supplied rag, rub the hot (empty!) iron over it, and voila, clean iron. Use the polishing cloth to buff it a bit, and burst a bit of steam on a rag to get out anything in the steam holes and it is as good as new. Buildup in the steam holes is a different issue...bad water! Buy a gallon of Crystal Geiser water for like $2 and use that for less gunk build up.
