sandpaper (or raigmaal in urdu) is all that you need..just scrub the bottom of your iron with it for a minute or so..and the black bottom is gone. We use it all the time..and it works

best solution I believe is lemon or something to clean the iron. Ima ask my dad and get back to you guys. He does something with lemon I believe and it all comes off very nicely and the iron again is good as new.
ahmadjee, if i'm not wrong, its usually because some of the material gets burnt or somehow stuck at the bottom.

Sadiyah, could it be 'kaam walay kapray' from Pakistan? When I was single I used my iron for more than 4-5 years, never had a problem. Since I got married, the black stuff started apearing.

khawa, unlike you I didn't have my mama around to cook, clean and iron for me. I had to do it all by myself.
I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
