ps sorry i posted in here but i couldnt find the my dh is a bit of a twat at times section lol

Make HIM buy you a new one
Or a plastic wire scouring pad & soapy water might do the trick

LOL I did this to my mum's nylon nightdress many years ago. Left a large iron shaped hole in it. I waited till the iron cooled down and then peeled a sheet of plastic off it and it was fine!

A thick paste of baking soda and water used with a brillo pad got a load of gunk off my iron.

you can buy special iron cleaning cloths which do the trick
