Removing iron-on transfer glue
I removed some old crests from hockey jerseys and am left with the residual glue left on jerseys. How do I take it off?

Not much help, huh?
Well, we weren't a wealth of info for you, were we?
You might try a solvent like "Goo Gone."...Be sure you check your fabric for colorfastness first, though.
My only other suggestion is to "iron-off" the iron-on glue! Cover the glue with a cotton fabric and iron again...it might transfer to the cotton. If your jersey is a poly-blend, you'll have to watch the heat setting...it might melt the fabric.
If none of that works....find a new/different crest to cover the spot!
If this will be a situation that you'll face again in the future, just sew the patches on instead of using the iron-on backing. I do this with all our scout patches and badges...at least the ones that get transfered to future uniforms, or will need replaced eventually.
Good Luck!

Iron on...ON my iron...now what?
It was late, I was tired....It was a last minute attempt at a holiday gift and somehow, I ironed the wrong side of the iron-on transfer...now the bottom of my iron is covered in glue AND the cute saying I was trying to put on a tote bag...UGH! Is it a lost cause? Do I need to buy a new gift AND a new iron?
Say it isn't so!
iron cleaning kits
There are kits that will take this gunk off the bottom of your iron. I know Rowenta makes one.
