Default Getting a burn out.

Like Brittany Spears, "Oops I did it again"
I was flash curing white tees and then switched to pink spagatti straps. 2 got small skorch mark circles making the fabric a bit harder. Is there some voodoo spray that can lessen the visiblity of the marks? And is lessen really a word?

on white tees, i can usually mix up water and bleach about 5 parts water to 1 part bleach. get and old t-shirt or towel, make it into a small ball shape and dip in the mixture, dont put to much on the ball,just enough to get damp. next pat down the scorch mark. you dont want to soak it just pat it quickly. you can try different mixes, add more or less bleach. this has saved me a few times.

Bleach can weaken the fabric if left on. For scortch remover in our shop we use a solution of 50% hydrogen peroxide ( just the regular 3% strength stuff ) and 50% water. put it in a spray bottle and mist the scortched area. This only works for scortch, flat out burned is another thing and You'd be out of luck.
