melted plastic on iron
so one day, i decided to be a big girl and iron my clothes. While i was doing this, my clumsiness got the better of me and i knocked the iron off the ironing board and onto our carpet. Our carpet is fine. I only realised then that the carpet was made of some plastic. Oh, the iron fell face down. So the hot side (where you press onto your clothes) was on the carpet. And because it was hot, the carpet melted and now that i had left it to cool. It has this hard plastic stuff on it. And i cant remove it..
Does anyone know how to remove this? Im really desperate and a bit of a cheap-skate.. :) my mom gets back in 2 weeks!
Thank you..

hmmmmm have you tried nail polish remover??it might rub the plastic off the iron.i just asked my mum and she said that if you spray biff paff like the fly spray and wipe it off(lol) i mean its worth a try.You can also try peel the plastic off unless its teffal like that non stick stuff then dont try it cuz then your iron will get scratched.

you have a few options, 1ST check if the a closet has the same and color of the carpet that you damaged.. what you can do is use a large cookie cutter with a blade and cut out the section if this same carpet goes into the closet then itll be easier. go into the closet and do the same what you are trying to do is swap the carpet( the burn section) to a part where you cant visually see it so much. youll need to glue it down.if this is too much for you then call a carpet cleaner/ repair man. I hope this helps
