| Help! The rubber pads on the bottom of a small fountain left dark stains on my ash table top. The wood is a pale blond color and just has some sort of a polyurethane sealer on it. What can I do to get rid of these stains? So far, I haven't done anything to remove the stains, other than try to rub them off with a damp cloth. Needless to say, that didn't work. I'd really appreciate some suggestions on what to do. |

| Try pledge wipes; if that doesn't work, try a soft abrasive like bakingsoda and water. |

| Are the marks caused by dampness from the fountain, or were the pads always dry? How long was the fountain sitting on the table, for months/years, or only a few hours? |

| Yeah....what ranchhand asked... And baking soda is not a soft abrasive, it's quite harsh. Try a little soft scrub on a Q-tip....very gently. Linda C |

| I would reccommend softscrub w/bleach--you may damage the finish--but it's trashed already as it is. I have had quite a bit of success w/Softscrp and a soft cloth. Melanie |
