A tea towel and an iron

 Remember my Craig's List find and buffet remodel?
HERE


Well the first time I used it, I was not prepared for hot casseroles and scorching!  I promise I used hot pads, but they are not enough to keep the heat away from the finish on the top of the buffet. I now place very nice cork pads underneath anything hot or warm and they work perfectly.

Alas, three scorch marks.  And the worst one below is dead center on the buffet. I have waited and waited and finally got up the courage to take a hot iron to the mess. 
So of course, I looked at youtube videos and gave it a try. 
Use only tea towels with very little or no fabric patten to them. I used my iron on the hot steam option.  I placed down the tea towel and then placed the iron on top of the towel and gently swirled the iron around.  I was only brave enough to swirl 4 or five times and take a peek at the results.  I would then repeat and repeat until magically the scorch was gone. 

Below, small marks on left hand side. 
A few swirls and gone!

The right corner had this large blotch. 

This was the best I could do on this side is below.  Still a faint scorch. 

And my giant front and center scorch....

No more!
I will say my kitchen oak table did not clean up at all.  So there must be something about the type of finish on the wood. 
But, give it a try.  I recommend checking out youtube videos first.
