Remove brown stains caused by iron leaking ?
I finally threw away the iron that was spitting brown liquid - It was a great iron until it started to spit and leak. Sigh.
How do I get rid of those stains?
I've tried soaking in various solutions.
Right now, I'm thinking just cut around the spots and that I should have pitched the iron sooner than I did.

i hope somebody reports a method that works.
i'm rarely "lucky" enough to have that happen until i am pressing a block or top.
cutting around is just about never an option.

I keep a small container of white vinegar by my ironing board for this oopsie. The straight vinegar onto the stain most times removes the stain. I dab it on with a white cloth. Sometimes it needs to be spot cleaned afterwards with a gentle soap rub and rinse to get the rest out. Depending on how much stain came out of the iron. Pat dry and press.
