Icky iron

I know it's probably not the dirtiest, but its mine,, and I need to clean it,,, :).. my iron has been like this for about a month,, we don't have anyplace local any more that carries and descent sewing supplies,, ( Wal-mart fab dept closed down over a year ago,, that's another subject,,:(
every time I would go to Joann's, I would forget about it,, well Friday, I almost burnt my DH shirt,, so I think making a special trip to Joann"s was necassary,, the before
the after,,, wow this stuff really works,, it took everything off,,,

off the iron, onto the rag,,
