Brook, you can get the Magic Eraser in your grocery store where the laundry cleaning supplies are. Walmart might also carry them. I actually use mine on the iron when it's hot. I don't wet the eraser and just wipe it on the soleplate. It works great! I'm not so sure how well it will work for your problem but it's worth the try. You won't be wasting your money if it doesn't work. Those erasers are so great for there intended purpose as well as iron cleaning.
