Good afternoon. I iron and starch my clothes every day. Recently, I got burnt starch on my iron, and I cannot use it. Does anyone know how to get that burnt starch of the iron? Please Help. Thank you.

A Mr Clean Magic Eraser did the job for me!

Does anyone know how to remove a stain from clothing from iron residue? It is a white collar.

DON'T use sodium hypochlorite, undiluted, and ammomium hydrochloride.

Heat the iron to a nonsteam, medium heat before cleaning. Sprinkle a generous layer of table salt over a brown grocery bag (use one that has no writing on the top surface). The salt is abrasive and will remove residue. Iron over the salt to remove starch and debris from the surface of the iron.

Dip a wet cloth in baking soda and clean your iron then rinse it off with clean water.

I found this website that might help you!

Their soultion is: Try heating equal parts of vinegar and salt in a small pan. Rub the solution on a cool iron, and wipe dry.
