How can I get the brown stains off my iron?

Assuming the brown stains on your iron are scorch marks, you can use 2 parts warm vinegar and 1 part salt solution to help remove the marks. If the stain persists, you can create a stronger solution of 1 tablespoon of toothpaste, 2 tablespoons of baking soda, and 3 tablespoons of vinegar. Use a soft sponge to apply the solution to the bottom of the iron and scrub the iron until the stain is removed.

How can I get rid of mold on a black suede purse?

First, scrub the mold off the purse with a suede brush. Although you don't typically want to leave your suede item out in the sun for too long because you don't want to risk fading, when you are dealing with mold, you may want to hang your purse out in the sun for a couple hours to help kill the bacteria. After the item is fully dry and warm, try using the suede brush again. You can try using a suede eraser as well.
