How do I clean my iron?

I have just used some wonderweb and some of it has stuck to the plate of my iron. You can't see it, but you can't iron, it just sticks to everything.

Any suggestions

You can buy iron soleplate cleaners MM. Amazon have lots of them.

Didn't Debih say toothpaste? She posted it as a Top Tip, probably on the lost boards :)

They are fantastic. I've used one for 15 years and would never iron again without one

I usually just put some washing up liquid on a wire scouring pad and scrub until the wonder web/whatever comes off-it usually only takes a minute or two.

I remember trying the toothpaste method when Debbie mentioned it but it didn't work for me :lol:

And my bondaweb is on the ironing board, not the iron :D
