I've had some cleaner that comes in a tube that works great. You squirt it on a towel and iron over it with a hot iron. I'm pretty sure I got it at Wal-Mart but don't remember which department. Until you have a chance to look for that, try ironing over a dryer sheet.

Mary Lou, I was going to suggest the same thing! It's Faultless Hot Iron Cleaner and I got it at Walmart, too. Probably in the section with the irons and such. I've used it and it works fine. (You may need a magnifying glass to read the directions on the tube, though! Who do they think can read print that small?!?!?!?)

A little bit of Soft Scrub with water and a soft cloth works well too.

I use a dryer sheet. Heat you iron and slide your iron over it. It removes all the fusible crap left on there. The sheet can usually be used more than once.
