I have a black painted dining table, I put something hot on it and it put a big white spot on it! What can I do to get it off?

You can rub vaseline over the white spot. Allow it to sit for 24 to 48 hours and it will remove the stain plus polish your wood.

I ACCIDENTLY LEFT A FEW COTTON BALLS SOAKED WITH NAILPOLISH REMOVER ATOP MY MOM'S DARK WOOD BRAND NEW COFFEE TABLE. THE WOOD SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN WORN OFF AT THOSE SPOTS. ANY IDEA ON HOW TO RESTORE THIS?

Editor's Note: Christine, it sounds like you have removed the finish from the table. There probably really isn't anything you can do except to refinish the top. Sorry, wish I could be more help.

Does anyone know how to remove these white stains. I used non - acetone nail varnish to remove permanent pen from my wooden table, but it has left white marks behind

Go to Restoration Hardware, they have this little cloth that takes those out. It comes in a little white jar and I think it is called magic something.

We just tried the white toothpaste put it's not pulling it out. We rubbed it on and then just wiped off. Are we doing it correctly?

Try white toothpaste on the white stains. I thought
I had ruined our dark wood dining table & someone
suggested that. Cleaned it up beautifully.
