If spray starch sticks to your iron it could simply be that you haven't shaken the can sufficiently.
Otherwise, it's probably that the bottom of your iron needs cleaning: wipe it over with a clean, damp cloth while the iron is cold, checking for any sticky parts. Then you can go over it while the iron is warm.
Don't use any abrasive cleaning pads (even plastic) or abrasive cleaners (liquid or powder).
It could possibly be that the iron has been cleaned incorrectly and the base is damaged - it could be pitted from abrasive cleaners, though you mightn't be able to see this you'll still feel it when you run your fingers over it. If this has happened, you'll need to buy a new iron. Get the cheapest: there isn't much difference, an iron is an iron, no matter what they say it does.
You can buy iron-cleaning preparations from the supermarked; check these out, one might help.
Once your iron is working normally, or you have a new iron, follow the use and care instructions very, very carefully. Don't use tap water in the iron.

How do you you use starch spray for clothes?
When I used to starch my military uniforms the procedure was to lay the garment flay on the ironing board, spray across one side of the leg ( crease to the side ), and press ( iron ) then flip and do the other side for a crisp seam that stayed that way all day long, same thing for the shirts. flat areas stay crisper and flatter when sprayed and ironed all at once, do the shirt front in two halves, back, in fourths starting at the collar, and sleeves separately, be careful about the temp of the iron because starch will help them get shiny ( glazed ) fast, keep the iron at medium or low temps.One thing i remember about starch is that buttons under fabric will leave a nasty mark if you iron over them, so pocket flaps and such need to be done so that it is not over the buttons, undo it, flip it open, and iron the flap by itself. ( not sure if this applies to anything but military uniforms )Do not starch your boxers.

Why does copper solution stick to iron nails?
Iron is more reactive than copper, so the copper precipitates out of the solution by sticking to the iron. For example, if you have a test tube with a solution of copper (II) sulfate and put an iron nail into it, the iron will react with the solution to form iron (II) sulfate and the copper will come out of the solution and stick to the iron.
