How to Clean Burnt Tile

Absentmindedly laying a hot pan or curling iron on a tiled surface may result in an unsightly scorch mark. Most tiles won’t melt or warp under the heat of these items, but certain hot items can leave scorch marks. You can remove surface burn marks with common household products found at grocery and hardware stores.
