my $#^# little cousin used my iron ON HER HAIR when she stayed with me a few days, after I specifically told her DO NOT and asked her just to use my hair straightener. she did it while I was at work and DH didn't know I said no..........so now my iron is gunked up with gel or hairspray or something, smells bad and scorched a pair of my pants because I didn't inspect it first, assuming she would listen. what a little brat.
There seems to be gunk on the iron, I can't clean it off with anything. I even tried salt and iron cleaner. I might try salt again. Should I just give up and buy a new one or does someone know what I can do (aside from strangling her.....this was my great grandmothers iron and even though it was nothing special, just from the late 80's or so, it was sentimental and worked really well as she was also an avid seamstress in her day. she is gone now.)
thanks for any advice
