There’s a fix for everything, especially if you follow this advice

Curious to find out how to do it? Let’s start!
Here’s how to fix iron marks!
When you happen to stain your clothes with iron, the most important thing is without a doubt to act rapidly. All right, but how? There are three methods to eliminate every trace: choose your favorite.
- The first consists of creating a mixture of hot water and pH-balanced soap, soaking a clean sponge in the mixture, and rubbing it onto the compromised area, using light pressure. Let it dry completely. Now take a cotton tea towel soaked in vinegar and spread it on the stain as well. It will completely vanish without leaving a trace!
- Try this alternative route: sprinkle the burned area with salt, then dampen a cloth in the juice of half a lemon and scrub energetically. Let this natural remedy sit for a good half-hour: the stain will be reduced and you can remove it easily.
- Finally, a great classic: soaking! Immerse the piece of clothing in cold water for one day and one night. When 24 hours have gone by, dab a cotton swab soaked in hydrogen peroxide on the burned area and continue with traditional washing.
With few readily-available natural ingredients and simple steps, there won’t be a single trace of these disasters. Enjoy your work!
