How to Get Rid of Burn Marks on Clothes

Though I haven’t tried any of these techniques, I hear that they work quite well for removing minor burns on fabric.

Rubbing lemon on the scorched area and setting it outside in the sunshine will help to get rid of it.

Borax and warm water, I hear great things about 20 Mule Team Borax. Sprinkle it on the burn and scrub gently with a cloth or sponge.

Scrub the stain with white vinegar.

Soak the burned area in cold water. Don’t worry if it doesn’t come out right away. Let it soak up to 24 hours.

Soak a cloth in hydrogen peroxide and put it on the burn. Carefully iron over cloth to lift the burn.

Removing Unwanted Wall Art

If you’re raising a “little artist” who sees walls as canvas, these tips may come in handy!

Wd-40 is supposed to be great for removing stains, such as markers, on walls. Spray it on and wipe the ink…or crayon away. You could even try letting it sit on the marks for a few minutes before wiping.

Chewing Gum in All the Wrong Places

Tragically I too have been the victim of rogue pieces of chewed and poorly placed gum. It’s really not too funny when you think you’re a cool teenage girl with sassy Capri pants…and then you find out you have gum on your butt…not cool. As I have come to find out it’s an easier fix than I thought.

Crack an egg in a bowl and separate the yolk. Dip an old toothbrush in the egg white and scrub the gum with it. Let it sit for 15 minutes and launder as usual. Tada! No more gum.
