Stained table top

24 years ago

Help! The rubber pads on the bottom of a small fountain left dark stains on my ash table top. The wood is a pale blond color and just has some sort of a polyurethane sealer on it. What can I do to get rid of these stains? So far, I haven't done anything to remove the stains, other than try to rub them off with a damp cloth. Needless to say, that didn't work. I'd really appreciate some suggestions on what to do.

Try pledge wipes;
if that doesn't work, try a soft abrasive like bakingsoda and water.

Are the marks caused by dampness from the fountain, or were the pads always dry?
How long was the fountain sitting on the table, for months/years, or only a few hours?

Yeah....what ranchhand asked...
And baking soda is not a soft abrasive, it's quite harsh. Try a little soft scrub on a Q-tip....very gently.

I would reccommend softscrub w/bleach--you may damage the finish--but it's trashed already as it is. I have had quite a bit of success w/Softscrp and a soft cloth.
