Glossy Black Finish
How can white steam marks be removed on a black glossy lacquered table?
Someone set a hot dish on my dining room table and it left a large white steam mark. It is a glossy black lacquered table. I've been given recommendations, vinegar and baking soda paste, mayonnaise, olive oil and salt, toothpaste, and using a steam iron over the stain. I tried toothpaste but it didn't work and other suggestions sound like they might scratch the finish. I'm afraid to put more steam on it. I think it will only make a bigger or worse stain. Can something be done to remove it without damaging the gloss finish?
The white mark is water vapor trapped in the finish, called "blushing" in finishing circles. The easiest first try to remove is to set your blow dryer to a low or med heat setting and try to evaporate the trapped moisture.
This may take several minutes and don't let the finish get hot. A slight warmth should suffice.
Good Luck.
