I've been using an iron to remove them like some people are suggesting. I was wowed by this solution. This solution works temporarily. The white stains keep coming back! I've used plastic plates and cups. All my plates are white, I was wondering if this is reason why?

I tried the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and I can't believe it really worked! The white stain is gone.
Magic eraser worked for me.
I used Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and it ruined the finish on my table.
After making the mark worse with the iron method I used a Mr. clean Magic Eraser and it worked! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the tip! I thought I ruined a sofa table after I used it to iron. Even tho I had thick towels, it got multiple white burn marks from the iron.
Thanks for the tip! I thought I ruined a sofa table after I used it to iron. Even tho I had thick towels, it got multiple white burn marks from the iron. I used a magic eraser in the direction of the grain, then rubbed a generous coat of lemon oil furniture polish. It looks like new!
I had huge places on my dining room table from my daughter ironing on the table with just a towel. MAGIC ERASER was the answer. I tried the hair dryer and the iron trick with a thicker towel....then got out the Magic Eraser and used that.
Thank you for the magic eraser tip. You saved the look of the table.
I did the same thing, have a mahogany dining table, put 2 towels down plus a sheet and still...white marks galore. used the magic eraser and worked like a charm, thank you so much!!!
I used a 50/50 mix of baking soda and toothpaste first. They helped a little but then I use the Mr. Clean eraser sponge. That got rid of it completely. Then I finished it off with some olive oil. Thanks for the tip about the Eraser sponge.
Thank you for suggesting using a Magic Eraser. I'd tried toothpaste + baking soda, mayonnaise + baking soda, and a hairdryer and nothing had worked for me, but scrubbing with a Magic Eraser did the trick!
I tried the iron and I have to say it took a good part of the mark away. I began to get discouraged so , I came back here to read some more of your suggestions. I used the magic eraser and was pleasantly surprised. Thank you everyone for your suggestions.

I also used the magic eraser and it worked wonders. You just have to be patient and it will eventually go away

Just tried this and to may utter amazement it really did work. It did make a white smear that old english took out right away and its complete. Thank you for the tip!
Magic Eraser on heat stain on mahogany table fantastic it really was "Magic"!!!
Magic Eraser worked!!!!
I used an iron without steam over a 100% cotton t-shirt to get rid of a circle from a hot paper plate. It did the trick to remove that circle BUT the iron caused a heat stain in another area. I tried the mayo, hair dryer, no success.
I too tried the steam iron on cotton trick, and it did work to some degree, but it left the surface of the table where the stain was very slightly rough to the touch. With a flash of inspiration I decided to try rubbing the area with a little drop of metal polish such as Brasso. This worked a treat, and as I progressed across the effected area, the white stain gradually disappeared. A final rub with a good quality wax polish and I defy anyone to tell me where the stain had been. Job done to my wife's total satisfaction!
I was skeptical, but the Mister Clean Magic Eraser worked for me.
