Additional Tips and Ideas
 
Removing Burn marks on countertops can tricky. Whether they are caused from a hot pan or a curling iron, the likelihood of removal all depends on the severity. There are several methods for removing light scorch marks, all using items that are readily available such as toothpaste or baking soda! If the scorch goes so deep that it penetrates the countertop material (rather than just discoloring the surface), it may be necessary to replace the countertop or find a clever way to cover it up.
 
You Will Need:
White toothpaste
Soft Scrub with bleach
Soft cloth
Scrub brush or toothbrush
Water
Mild soap
 
Steps to Remove the Burn Mark:
Begin by using the soft cloth and mild soap to remove any discoloration from the surface.
Apply a layer of white toothpaste to the scorch mark and allow it to set for several minutes.
Scrub the area lightly with either a scrub brush or toothbrush.
Wipe the area clean with a soft cloth and water.
If the stain remains, apply some Soft Scrub using the cloth and allow it to set for several minutes.
Scrub the area with either a scrub brush or toothbrush.
Repeat as necessary until the mark is removed.
 
If the mark cannot be removed, it may have penetrated the surface, making it unable to be removed. Consider replacing the section or using one of our clever cover-ups below.
