How do you clean an iron?

I wash and iron the Altar Cloths for my Church. I see a build-up of starch (burned on brown stuff) on the sole plate of the iron. The last time I ironed, some of it flaked off onto the fabric. I had to re-wash some of the Cloths. Is there a product or a way to clean this gunk off the iron without damaging the sole plate? Thanks.

    I sew a lot and use my iron often. I always keep this on hand. Use with a clean white cloth to clean your iron.
