    whatever you do, don't put them in the dryer. That will "set" the offending material. Dry cleaners might be able to help.

    As far as the iron, if it is a metal (not teflon) plate, you can use either a non-scratch scouring pad (like a green 3-M or a white version) to rub off the stuff without scratching the surface.

    If you ever use spray starch, that will definitely build up on the iron surface and leave brown burnt residue.

    You didn't say what color they are. if they are white bleach them or use that bleach stick by tide...I think you can use that on colors too...READ the label first....

    Also when you used the shout did you wash them again...it works best with soap so wash them.

    Take it to the dry cleaners. They might be able to help you if you explain to them.
