Sticky Stuff On Iron

[grange]

I've managed to get sticyy stuff on the sole plate of my iron. Entirely my own fault!! Please can anyone tell me how to remove it?

You can get soleplate cleaner in the supermarket or DIY shops

Spray the bottom of you iron with water and then rub the iron over an old tea towel. The water loosens the sticky stuff and it should come off on the tea towel.

A brillo pad and make sure to wash off all the residue 'pink' stuff afterwards.

I did this last week... after ironing a Justin bieber tshirt.
I just used wire wool, & it came off no problem.
