Run a hot iron over a piece of wax paper, it should remove the starch buildup.
I turn the iron on to its highest temperature, unplug it from the wall for electrical safety and immediately rub it down with a really damp rag. Make sure the rag is folded several times to help insulate you from burning your fingers.
I've always used table salt. Pour salt on your ironing board. Turn iron on high and rub into salt. Works every time. My mother taught me and she has had her iron for 40 years and it is still like brand new.

I had a couple years of starch build up on my iron. I tried goo gone on it and it took a couple of times before all the old build up come off but now I use it after every time I iron and it stays clean.
What's good for cleaning starch off of the bottom of the iron
