Remove scorch marks from an iron by rubbing it with a warmed-up solution of equal parts white distilled vinegar and salt. If that doesn’t work, use a cloth dampened with full-strength white distilled vinegar.

On the pull string, i want to say they had a roll of cotton soaked in non toxic bleach and they wrapped the cotton on the string and then put plastic wrap around the cotton and let it sit. I hope I am remembering this right.

the Ultimate Stain Remover for laundry is 1/4 cup automated dishwasher powder (cascade) 1/2 cup non chlorine bleach(clorax 2) and 1 gallon of hot water. Let the clothes soak for 8 hours and wash in the normal wash mode with this solution, no additional soap required. This gets out blood and other stains that have been set in for years. The only thing it hasnt gotten out it ink.
