I put a hot plate on my kitchen table. Now there is a white spot there. How can I get it back to original?

   “Ever had a table damaged by a hot plate or pizza box? This beautiful burl walnut table is suffering from “heat blush”, the white haze caused by heat and the resulting moisture being trapped in the finish (photo 1). By simply pouring on a small amount of Wood Elixir, waiting a few moments, then wiping off, you can see the heat blush being removed (photo 2). Just pennies worth of Wood Elixir removed the heat blush, restoring this $10,000 antique treasure
   to it’s original beauty (photo 3).”

   Without knowing what your kitchen table is made of, it’s difficult to know how to answer your question. If you add some details, I’ll try to give you some help.

   All the best.

   The answers depend on what the table is made of… wood? formica? tile?

   An old fashioned way to “fix” a heat ring left on a wood table without having to completely refinish the whole thing is to apply a solution of iodine thinned with a little water with a damp (NOT WET) cotton ball. Darker woods… less water. Lighter woods… more water. But you must apply with a barely damp cotton ball… raising the grain of the wood will only make things worsel

   try any kind of food oil with apiece so that you web it carefully and leave it for 5 min

   There are a bunch of answers here:

   But I did that to an old table of mine and fixed it by taking an orbital sander to the entire top, restaining it, and then putting on a few coats of polyurethane with a sponge brush. It looks like brand new! Better than when I got the table! The whole process took about an hour. My table is small though, 3′x3′.
