Scorch marks on fabrics often appear after leaving a hot iron unattended or scorched iron plates that cause a stain on the fabric. Other causes of scorch marks could be a cigarette burn or too much lint in your dryer. Garments with scorch marks are usually disposed of, because the mark leaves a discoloration. Items made from polyester and rayon fabrics are especially prone to scorch marks, since they easily melt and burn at high temperatures.

Place a few drops of hydrogen peroxide on and around the stained area.

Add two drops of ammonia after placing hydrogen peroxide.

5

Leave the fabric to soak several minutes up to an hour. Place drops of peroxide and ammonia every now and then to keep the moisture.

Rinse with lukewarm water. Do not use hot water, as it will make the stain set deeper into the fabric.

Wash the fabric. Wash again with an all-bleach fabric or oxygen bleach if the stain still appears.
