How to remove pot pourri oil stain from wood?

[jonathen]

Hi all,

I hope it's okay for me to post this question in this forum...

I have an unfinished pine storage unit which I left a pot pourri oil burner on top of; it subsequently leaked the oil onto the unit, now leaving a horrid stain which looks like a water stain, but it won't go away.

Any ideas of how I can get rid of this stain?

Thanks

Jon

Put brown paper over the stain. Iron, with on 2 dots, no steam. The oil will soak into the paper. This will reduce the stain, though you will probably need to oil or wax the whole unit to disguise the stain completely.

Thanks Katie, I'll give that a try
