Home Improvement - STAIN - CLEANING WOOD FURNITURE-BURNS

Wood Furniture - Burns
Light cigarette burns which have not penetrated the
finish may be removed with a thin paste of rottenstone,
soda or cigarette ashes mixed with mineral oil or linseed
oil. Rub lightly in the direction of the grain. Wipe with
plain linseed oil. Repeat as necessary, then polish.
Another remedy for minor burns or blemishes is to dip a
cotton swab in paint remover and rub the damaged area
gently to remove charred material. Scrape the area if
needed. Use one to two drops of clear fingernail polish
to fill the depressed area. Let set and repeat until you
build up the area to the same level as the wood around
it. If the burn is too deep to be restored by this
method, consult a professional.
