I use a $6 iron bought at Walmart when pressing fusibles or glue. When it gets too gunky I toss it and buy another one. I find the $6 irons every now and then and buy several. They are handy to have for door prizes or sale tables without giving me a lot of fuss to find something to bring.

I've read somewhere that to prevent starch buildup that you can starch one side of your fabric, flip it over and iron on the opposite side. Has anyone tried this? I would put a piece of fabric down to cover my pressing board so that can be washed to prevent the board from getting gunked up.

Wet a wash cloth. An old rough one and iron on highest setting til it comes clean then on a dry cloth. I would rather use a Magic eraser than an SOS pad (even lightly). An SOS no matter how fine will scratch a groove.
