Your iron needs proper care and maintenance to prolong its life span and ensure the best performance every time. It’s also best to remember that mishaps can happen and some of them are inevitable such as leaving burnt marks in the iron plate. When this occurs, you have to treat the problem immediately before it sets or let it build up because it will be harder to remove by then.

How to Remove Burnt Marks in Iron:
Step 1
Get a small bowl or container, then add a bit of baking soda to it followed by some water, and stir them until paste-like consistency.
Step 2
Take a paper towel and use it to get some of the paste, then apply it to the iron right where the burnt mark is, and start scrubbing the area. (Baking soda is non-abrasive to the plate of your iron but it’s enough to agitate and loosen the burnt stuff)
Step 3
Keep working on the area or marks until clean, then simply wipe any baking soda residue on the plate, and you’re done!
