Useful Post Alert!

OK, so last night we order pizza. I'm super tired and lazy so I just plop the steaming hot pizza box onto the espresso colored coffee table. Oops. I pick up the box and there is a cloudy white heat stain that will not go away with regular cursing and paper towel wiping. So I went online and found this remedy.

Put down a cloth diaper folded in half (we happen to have one of these), then put a hot (cotton setting) clothes iron down flat right on the cloth, right over the stain for about 15 seconds. Pick up the iron, remove the cloth and wipe the moisture away and the stain is gone. It worked great and the stain is gone. Not sure of the type of wood or finish, but the table is relatively new, dark, and we were told not to use a wax based polish.

Have a nice weekend, folks.
