Erase white heat marks and water rings on wood furniture?
If the wood has a good finish (don't try on bare wood), mix equal parts of baking soda and regular white, non gel toothpaste. Lightly dampen corner of a clean, soft white cloth with water and dip into the paste. With circular motion gently buff the marks for a few minutes. Wipe area clean, and buff to a shine. Follow with furniture polish. (If rings remain after buffing five minutes or so, they may have penetrated the wood; you might have to refinish the piece).

Hi,
You dryed out the stain and wood. You can rub mayonnaise into the stain, it will be a temporary repair. I would recommend going to your local hardware and look at the wood repair section to oil the stain.
I did use the mayonnaise on a stain that a glass of water left on a coffee table damaged. It really helps.
Good luck!

Yep, thats what it is.... You have a little moisture buildup in the finish... it is easy to remove tho...
Use a hair dryer, on the low heat setting, and gently wave it back and forth over the moisture spots.... this will dry out the finish, removing the white 'stains'. As long as you do not leave the hair dryer blowing in one spot for too long, allowing the finish to get too hot to touch, there is no harm to the finish.
Ive used this simple remedy several times to remoive moisture "stains" from wood finishes from all kinds of sources.
Have Fun

That's why they invented something they call an IRONING BOARD ! If your lucky, the spot will go away in 24 hours. If it doesn't, you may have to remove the existing layer of varnish on the table and apply a new coat.

Ugh... I'm not sure how to get rid of that. I know that Old English has a dark oil that sure helps conceal scratches, marks, etc.
I would plan on buying nice looking table cloths... sorry.

Well, looks like you will have your work cut out for you. If it is solid wood sand,stain and laquer. if a laminante really not worth the time?

Good old mayonnaise will work.
Use lightly, let it sink into the wood nd buff away.
Good luck.

it should go away after it dries. Wait 24 hours.
