Polyester is a form of plastic. You're getting the ironing marks because you have the iron too hot and it's burning/melting the material. In the future, turn the pants inside out and iron the wrong side OR get an ironing cloth that protects the clothing from burning. Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way.

I accidently used an iron that was too hot on my polester black pants while pressing the hem. Now I have an area that is shiney on that area of the pants. Is there any help for this or is the fabric simply melted? Any ideas would be appreciated.

I read this somewhere that if you spray the area pretty heavily with white vinegar and then lay over that a damp cloth. Next barely set your iron down on the cloth until there is a little steam coming from the cloth. Iron should be set according to the fabric. Do this for just a few seconds. The shiny area will be gone. Hope this helps.

Isn't boiling poly going to make it curl up and melt?

I wouldn't do it. If the boiling doesn't ruin them, the oil will stain them. Think grease or melted butter stains.

I was wondering if anybody could give advice on how to remove shiny patches on polyester? I was steaming my daughter's school blazer and the iron has accidentally touched the fabric which now has a shiny patch.

Many thanks for any advice given.

You could try putting vinegar on a pressing cloth and pressing on low heat.

I found this site when this happened to a suit of mine...but sadly nothing worked and I had to get rid of the suit. Hopefully you will have better luck than I did. Polyester is a nasty fabric when things go wrong. Great to wash and wear though!

This can be a tough thing to remove and generally everyone says to use vinegar but that does not always work (does it?).

I decided to look for some different methods so check out these two sites as they have a little different approach. Be sure to read very carefully the one "vinegar press" as it is entirely different.
Good luck..

I have a pair of new black trousers and now I've ironed them, a silver line has appeared. How do you get rid of the silver line? I heard vinegar will do the trick - is that right?
