Stains
  
removing stains

Stains happen. Here are a couple of tips to get rid of them.

 

  

1) For water stains, cigarette burns, heel and claw marks, ink, and most other stains, use a fine steel wool (number 2) and refinish. For more difficult stains, use a fine sandpaper, then a number 1 or 00 steel wool.

 
2) For chewing gum and spilled wax, apply ice. It will become brittle and crack. You can then scrape it away.
