Stains

[sweet allyson]

Hi, just a quick question. Does anyone have any ways to remove urate stains (I know bad spelling) My bad was out last night for some play time and decide the the coffee table was the prefect place to go potty. After cleaning up I now have a big white stain that will not come out?? Can anyone help?

Stain Removal

Today's high-performance finishes demand special and careful attention when it comes to stain removal. While there are countless remedies for stains, some may damage the furniture's finish. If you're at all unsure, you should call a professional refinisher.

These common stains often can be treated with do-it-yourself furniture first aid. But bear in mind: always test your remedy on a small area to see if it removes the stain without disturbing or damaging the finish.



"Stain Treatment
Water Marks & Rings Often, rings are in the wax, not the finish. Cover the stain with a clean, thick blotter, press down with a warm iron, and repeat. Or rub with salad oil, mayonnaise or white toothpaste. Wipe dry and wax or polish.
White Marks Rub with a cloth dipped in a mixture of cigarette ashes and lemon juice or salad oil. Or rub with a cloth dipped in lighter fluid, followed by a mixture of rottenstone and salad oil. Wipe dry and wax or polish. "

Hope that will help...

You can try Old English Dark Wood Scratch Remover..I use that on cabinets in apartments I clean when water has dripped down from the sink
