Nah ... no pea brain ... you just knew the annoyance of working with a press cloth!
I had never used one, until I got into the scorching problems with the spray starch.
Yes it worked. But I did find it too annoying, in a lot of ways.
Another thought ...
Nothing was mentioned (I don't think) as to whether you are pressing with a dry iron? or steam?
FWIW, I just use a dry iron, highest temp on the Oliso.
Let us know, what makes a difference for you!!

One more thing. Do you clean your iron regularly? When you use any
kind of starch there's always some residue on the iron. I've learned to
check my iron everyday before switching it on. If it's not smooth that
means it needs cleaning. Otherwise I pay the price. LOL
