How do I remove melted polyester/polyamide from the bottom of a saucepan/pot?

I put a hot pot on a blue 80%polyester 20%polyamide dish cloth. The cloth melted onto the bottom of the saucepan. How do I get the cloth off the bottom of the pan? My mom is gonna be very very very mad! Do I soak the pan in hot soapy water or cold soapy water? Do I use oven cleaner? Use ajax? HELP !

Answer:

You could put the pan in the freezer and see if it will chip off easier?

Try this method for removing wax, it might work. Scrape away as much wax as you can. Place a portion of a brown paper bag on top of the wax. Press the tip of a warm iron gently over the affected area until the wax melts and attaches to the paper. Lift the paper. Good luck.
you will need to get the pan hot again, then using a scraper of some type , remove as much as you can, if the pan is still warm after this you should be able to use a steel wool or other type of scrubber to remove the rest, don't set the pan directly on the hot stove or you will have a bigger mess
