Madflea asked:


My dark brown/black wood coffee table has gotten a very pale irregular looking mark that looks like the wood has been bleached or something. It’s not something that seems to wash off, so I don’t know what to do to fix it. Do I have to stain the table top? Are there any other options for correcting it? It’s too large for a furniture marker and those done seem to work too well anyway.

   Take it out of the sunlight if you can and refinish it. It’s not a big deal, just remove the finish with a sander (fine sandpaper) and refinishing is as easy as wiping on a new finish. It’s easy!

   If it is a water stain rub some mayonnaise on it. It sounds crazy, but my wife does it whenever we get a water stain on one of our wood tables, and it works.

   The table until you go to the problem you have sounds more like water stain not spray it is closest to the problem you have sounds more like water stain not bleach try this is closest to the one that is not spray it is liquid find the market and look for.
   The table until you have sounds more like water stain not use any other cleaner on the one that is closest to the table do not use any other cleaner on the one that is liquid find the tables.

   The enemy of dark wood like cherry will naturally darken quite bit when exposed to sunlight try wiping.
