Fabric Stuck On Iron.

Had the same problem with my iron. Solved by buying a new one. Mind you my iron was 20+ years old so it was about time I had a new one.

New iron?

I suppose it would if it was a "non stick" sort though

Brillo pad usually does the trick

I never have this problem
I rarely iron

Have you tried toothpaste on an old toothbrush on a warm , but not hot iron ?

Amazon sells hot iron cleaner. I'm a frequent flyer in this category and can testify to it's effectiveness. The product is in a toothpaste- like tube.
You will not look back. I buy in bulk.

The 'big river company' do a Vilene iron cleaner stick and others similar.

I have a couple and find they work fine - until they break off from the holder!

Have you an old cotton towel if so heat the iron very hot then try rubbing it on the towel a few times. I did this with mine it worked.
