Halloween Window Slime Stains on Oak Table

Halloween red slime for windows has stained my light oak dining table like a bad tattoo. I've tried bleach pen, Windex, Tilex, Hydrogen Peroxide, Rubbing Alcohol, soap and water, to no avail. How can I clean this beautiful table, please?

Mr. Cleans Eraser > GENTLY rub a small area of the stain with the dampened eraser. If it works, dry off the area, see if the results are ok and repeat.

I had a permanent marker stain on the top of an ash wood dining table. The eraser worked perfectly, the only thing was, it left a ever so slightly dulled finish. I have since rectified this with a home made furniture polish, and it looks fine now.

Good Luck

You may have to get advice from a professional refinisher or furniture restorer. I have successfully cleaned damaged furniture with mineral spirits but I don't know what this would do to the finish on your table. Good luck.
