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 borax a tackifier ingredient in starch based adhesives?
Borax acts as a tackifier in starch-based adhesives by increasing their adhesive properties and improving their ability to stick to surfaces. It does this by forming cross-links between starch molecules, which creates a stronger and more cohesive adhesive bond. Additionally, borax helps regulate the viscosity of the adhesive, allowing it to spread more evenly and stick better.
Does a magnet stick to zinc?
No. Only to iron and other ferromagnetic materials. Or if you form the aluminum into a coil and pass a current through it, then you have an electromagnet, which would be attracted to a magnet.
Effect of the magnet bar on iron and sulfur mixture?
The iron in the mixture will be attracted to the magnet and stick to it. Sulfur, being non-magnetic, will not be affected by the magnet and will remain in the mixture. This can be used to separate the iron from the sulfur.
