The first time I tried to use heat and bond, I did not read the directions (stupid, I know... :oops: ) That lesson cost me a new iron and ironing board cover. I was at least smart enough to buy a teflon sheet for all future projects. I don't think I would use iron-on products at all, had I not found out about 'teflon pressing sheets' from my LQS. I heartily recommend them. I couldn't get all the goo off my iron. I will be watching this post for answers. Thank you for asking the question. :D

did the same thing tonight, ironed on the correct side, but forgot about the exposed edges. THEN pressed some NFL fabric and wondered why the Gold was turning Green. I got a wet rag and scrubbed it while it was still hot, not a great idea, but got most of it off.

That actually is a very easy solution. Use a brown paper bag and add a couple tablespoons of salt. Warm your iron up and "iron the salt" scrubbing the bottom of the iron. It will come right off. Then just wipe off the residue.
