Make the wood shine again by applying a wood polish right after cleaning it.

The petroleum jelly should absorb into the wood, but wipe away any excess you still see with a soft cloth.

You can try adding wood ashes to the mayonnaise to make it slightly abrasive to help the oils penetrate deeper.

You can do this as many times as you need to completely remove the stains. Baking soda and vinegar work especially well for untreated wood.

Toothpaste has a slight abrasive that helps scrape the stain away, but it could damage the wood’s finish.

Only use steel wool on the stained area of your wood so you don’t accidentally damage another section.

Salt and lemon make a slight abrasive that could clear the stains from your wood.

Irons work best for stains that are only a few days old.

The white stain is actually moisture caught between the wood and the finish. When you apply heat, the moisture evaporates and escapes from the wood.

Even though the cleaner removes some of the finish, you can easily refinish it by applying wax or sealer to the wood.
