I use a stainless steel pot scrubber stuffed into the bottom of my iron
holders. It cleans the tips everytime you put the iron into the holder.

Hmm. I was taught to clean before using and put back dirty to keep a nice
tinned tip. Also, I was under the impression that using abrasives would
wear out the tip quicker.
