Here’s a party trick for synthetic fabric burns. Sprinkle a layer of table salt over a piece of wax paper or a brown paper bag.
Run the warm iron over the salt. The salt acts like tiny sandpaper beads, scrubbing the burn away. Plus, it absorbs melted plastic. You’ll be left with salty, burnt confetti.
Repeat until the gunk is gone. Then wipe the plate clean with a damp cloth. It’s weirdly poetic—destroying evidence with kitchen staples.
