Oh, I just knew a third thing was going to go wrong ! (broke bike one, broke bike two, broke iron three).
*somebody* ironed some black nylon shorts on the cotton setting
and got melted plastic all over the white ceramic soleplate.
I phoned Tefal for advice, they said try some warm water & a non-stick scouring pad, or send them the iron & £12 and they'd have a look at it.
Then I went to my old friend Google, and somebody mentioned baking powder.
I didn't have any, so tried bicarbonate of soda, warm water & the non-stick scouring pad. 10 mins = nothing doing.
Then I switched the iron to the lowest setting (nylon, actually) and kept scrubbing: the melted black nylon started to come straight off, like magic. Brilliant.
Just be careful not to melt the scouring sponge too: you need to be quick with the scrubbing.
