Burnt bits on my iron!

Does anyone know of anything that will remove burnt bits on my iron..?? Its messing up all my clothes and can't afford to replace it! Help.

Wire wool perhaps, or a green pastic scourer ?

I always turn the iron up to full, then kind of scrape off the burnt bits on an old towel draped over the edge of the ironing board, if that makes sense. Works every time, but ruins the towel!

you can get a waxy type stick, thng which you apply to the iron when hot then rub off, takes all the brown bits off, superb, robert dyers or most hardware shops do

ps i would'nt , use anything abrasive as it scratches the surface and makes the iron stick more
