A:
Wipe your hot iron tip on a wet sponge on a regular basis while soldering. You must use a natural sponge, not a plastic one. The one that came with your Weller iron or Studio Pro stand is the type that you will want to use. As well a wet Shop Towel (blue) works very well for keeping the tip clean.
If you have any black bits or crud build-up that won't come off on the sponge, try rubbing the hot iron tip against a block of Sal Ammoniac, and then against your wet sponge. Alternatively, you can take your hot iron and dip it in paste flux and clean with steel wool .000.
