The hard black stuff is residue from whatever material you've been ironing at too high a temperature. It can be removed fairly easily with vegetable oil and exra-fine steel wool while the iron is barely warm. If you are ironing synthetics, it is best to use a clean, slightly damp piece of cotton over top. It's a good idea to use this even with a brand new iron. Also, spray on starches, fabric softeners, and the like can cause discoloration on your iron.
The temperature settings on your iron could also be miscalibrated, or if it is old, worn out. If this is the case then replace it with a new one that comes with a warranty.

A little bit of oven cleaner should do the trick! Be careful and use in a well ventillated area. When your iron is completely cool, spray on a layer of oven cleaner and let sit. Wipe off!

this is going previous in basic terms OCD. If what you're asserting is authentic and additionally you're no longer instigating his outbursts or something, why would you want to marry this guy? He for sure does not get excitement from you for who you're. My suggestion is to no longer marry him. If he maintains to act like that, you are going to have a very unhappy marriage and it will probable lead to a divorce. Get out of it and take administration at the same time as you could. You deserve extra applicable than that. You deserve somebody who loves you and appreciates you, so do no longer take that BS. i'm hoping all of it works out for you. do no longer neglect to wish approximately it <3

We use steel wool, like a Brillo pad. This won't work if you have a Teflon coated iron, unless you want to remove the teflon.
