If the pile on the carpet is long enough,you might be able to shave off the melty part with a razor(like taking the bobbles off of a woolly jumper) or roughen it up with sandpaper.
At least the iron didn't land on you,which would have been much worse.0 -
and you could try a non-stick fish slice to scrape muck off the *warm* (not hot) iron and use Iron CleanerA kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0
