Scorched Fabric
• If you scorch cotton fabric while ironing, plunge into cold water immediately and let stand 24 hours. The scored area will disappear.
• To remove a scorch mark, rub the mark with a lemon and set material out in the sun.
• To remove scorch mark from a garment, take a clean, self cloth moistened with white vinegar and rub over discolored area. Take another clean cloth dampened with water and rub area again. Continue pressing or ironing garment.
• To remove a scorch mark from linen or white cotton fabric, dip a piece of old fabric in hydrogen peroxide, lay it on the scorched portion of the fabric, and rub with a hot (not too hot). If it doesn't work the first time, repeat until the stain is completely removed.
