    does anybody know if there is anything I can do I was in a hurry and needed to iron a shirt so I put a towel down on the table and when I was finished and took up the towel it was white underneath, not that the table is expensive but I would like to repair it rather than buy a new one

    Some people reckon you can steam it out with the iron, strange but it appears to work.

    Try it at your own risk.

    If you have any cigarette ash, rub that in to the mark.

    was just going to say this - my mother does it all the time and it works brilliantly

    TIP OF THE YEAR :)

    We had a beautiful new table which someone left a hot coffee on... I saw this post last night and mentioned it to the wife..

    She rang me in work earlier to say she decided to try it.. and it worked..

    Just got home, and there is not a trace of the mark left.. (it was about 2" in diameter before).. Amazing..
