What's wrong with soleplate of iron? Is it dirty? Scratched? Has caked on starch and other residue?

You can either purchase ready made cleaner for iron soleplate, or try any of the suggestions below.

Have always used a scotchbrite pad with a little scouring powder/cream when clean polish with windex or similar.
