You can purchase pens of wood stain at paint stores that are meant to be used to correct such problems,if it is solid wood not plastic veneer over fiberboard. Also if you can match the color, try permanent marker and wax used for wood, but the stain touchup marker pen would be better, I think.

Then with a cloth-dip into the tea solution and rub over the mark. It MAY blend the mark in with the rest of the table that way. If you are unsure to begin with try a test piece under the table where no one can see. I am told this is a good way to cover up stains on wood. Good luck Monique x Somerset.

This method has worked to remove white cloudy spots from my dining room table caused by sitting a hot plate directly on the table. It can't hurt.

The only solution that I know of is to sand down and refinish.
