Q: I recently purchased a very dark, wood veneer kitchen table. We have a white stain on it, caused by the heat from a coffee pot. Is there some way this can be repaired?
A: The easiest fix is to spray the area with Blush Eraser, which comes in aerosol cans and is sold at Rockler stores. If you can’t find that, you can also remove the white marks, by wiping the area with a 
cloth dampened with denatured alcohol. Make it damp, not full wet, or it could etch the finish. Damp means “about as wet as a healthy dog’s nose.” Afterward, add a coat of paste wax to help restore the sheen, and help shed water in the future.
