How can I bring my sun-burnt brown plants back to life?

I got a new job and have been working 12 hour days...and completely forgot my poor plants outside on the porch... I put them out there about a week ago bc they were wilting and needed sun but now they are brown and sun burnt. I watered them and put them in partial sunlight in my living room. What else can I do to save these poor plants?

There is nothing you can do for the brown parts, cut them out, they will drain the life out of the rest of the plant. What is left may look devastating, but it will recover, try miracle grow, a bright window and patience. You will be surprised how quick they will come back, but probably not until fall or winter depending on the type and how quickly they grow.
Reply:If you cut them back or remove the leaves that are sunburned they will sprout new growth in no time. I am always leery about feeding plant in times of stress, what they need now is some "down" time to recover, a nice drink, a shady area, with a loving owner to watch over things while they recuperate, then..... something to eat!! :)
Reply:I agree with the cut-back advocates. It's always amazing to see a plant that looked to be at death's door bounce back. If your plants have branches with nodes (Joints), cut them back deeply, always cutting just above a node. New leaves will come from these joints. If the plant grows from a crown, like a peace lily, you can cut the sunburned leaves off down to the soil and the plant will grow new ones. Don't overwater at this point, as you can kill your plants with kindness. For most house plants, only water when the soil feels dry. If it's not too hot in your area, an outdoor vacation like what you tried to give them works great. You just have to watch all that sun and wind exposure.
Reply:cut back some of the brown, but not to much , then water good, in a couple of days give it another cut back. see if that helps, and put them in the tub with some steam or something to keep them moist.
