04.12.2011 1 minute read From Editorial team

Annoying when you have a burn mark on your beautiful wooden table or worktop caused by a hot pot. But here is a tip to bleach this stain using simple household remedies:

Remove burn marks from furniture

Onion

You need juice of 2 onions (best made in a juicer!). Apply this to the affected area and let it soak in for approx. 12 hours.

Remove burn marks from clothing

Onion

If you have scorched something while ironing, the onion also helps: Apply the juice of 2 onions to the affected area and let it soak in for only approx. 30 minutes. Then wash as usual!

Vinegar or borax water

Rub a burn mark on clothing with vinegar or borax water. Then rinse with clear water.
