How to Remove Burn Marks
Many circumstances can lead to burn marks on counters, walls, ceilings or other surfaces. Leaving a curling iron on, placing a burning pot on a counter or letting a candle holder overheat are just a few examples on incidents that lead to burn marks.
If you'll clean burn marks immediately, you might not have to resort to painting over the marks. Particular products and tools can be used to effectively remove the burn marks.
