Chicken Memorials

[Omletina Kyckling]

Hello all,

I've managed to burn something onto the bottom of my iron, I tried to iron a label on a linen top and the label was obviously man made and it's now all burnt - I tried wiping it etc but it doesn't want to come off, other than on hubby's best collars etc.

 

Anybody got any good home remedies for removing it, before I start to wield the scouring pad!

 

Thanks!

oven cleaner, i know its not home made but it works, you can get iron plate cleaner from lakeland & morrisons do one too

i did this a couple of months ago, i used my metal pan scrubber to get it off, it was one u can use on non stick pans, hope u get it off!!

Turn it up to the highest temp, then iron an old cotton tea towel.

 

I got melted polyester ribbon stuck to the bottom of my iron after OH left the iron on the "max-pants" setting and then I went to iron on DDs karate tag onto her belt. The above method got rid of the residue, although I should have left it on there for him to get all over his work shirts to teach him a lesson!

The one from Lakeland is fantastic It removed the stuck on bits of carpet after I knocked the iron on the floor I wish the carpet was as easy to fix

I got some iron cleaning wipes from Tesco. They were quite good.

I seem to remember soap to clean the bottom and then iron it off. I use a polti steamer iron so it doesn t get that hot anymore - just uses hot steam.
