HOT MARKS

Help! I left a hot pizza box on my wooden table for half hour-now the wood is discolored. What can I do?

Heat marks can be tough to remove. Here's a method to try to lacquered surfaces only: Mix a dab of non-gel toothpaste with baking soda to make a paste. Rub gently over the stain until the paste feels warm. Then wipe clean with a damp cloth. You may have to repeat this process several times to lift the mark. Follow up with furniture polish or oil.
