how can i remove black burn marks off of my wooden desk without damagin it?

Answer 1

Assuming the burn mark isn't too bad, you should be able to use a creme paste to remove the first layer of finish (And thus the burn mark). You can then replace the first layer of finish with a standard wood polish product like Pledge (Preferably with carnoba wax, etc.).

This is how I would do it when I owned a cleaning and restoration company...

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Some black burns can be gently removed or at least lightened by gnetly rubbing with toothpaste on a soft cloth. Always rub with the grain of the wood. And if the colour is removed from the desk it can be touched up with a little matching shoe polish or furniture polish pen.

Answer 3

There is no way to get black burns off a wooden desk. You will need to sand it off. Good luck.

Answer 4

30 years in the past I basically positioned neat bleach down on wood draining boards. as we talk i might in all likelihood do the comparable yet basically scrub marks with a toothbrush soaked in a tiny quantity of thick bleach. no longer eco friendly i understand.

Answer 5

you can look into woodburning which ironically is a way to patch damaged wood surfaces or look into inlaid wood repair or sand the entire desk down evenly till all damage is gone

Answer 6

It's already damaged. Top needs to be stripped, sanded, stained to match, and refinished.
