    how to clean iron???

    Can anyone help me?? Something seems to have burned onto the metal surface of my iron and I am at a loss as to how to clean it. It is now very rough and hard to iron anything, plus sometimes black bits come off on my husbands work clothes. Any suggestions are very welcome as I am looking at going off and buying a new one.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can buy tubes of iron cleaner in the laundry aisle at the supermarket, it's called something like "hot iron cleaner". You basically smear it on, heat the iron up, then iron all the goop off onto a piece of scrap rag.
