How to Remove Marks From a Canadel Table
Canadel tables are beautiful hardwood pieces that are as valuable as they are attractive. But when you purchase a dining table, you buy it to be used--and even the most vigilant people experience accidents. If you find yourself with a mark on your Canadel hardwood table, don’t panic. There are a couple of home-remedy tricks that may enable you to remove the mark and enable you to avoid having to refinish the surface.
For Water Ring Marks
Step 1
Plug in the iron and turn the heat setting to medium-low--use medium if your iron doesn’t have the medium-low setting.
Step 2
Wipe the surface of the table with a clean dustcloth.
Step 3
Place the dishtowel or T-shirt over the mark on the table surface.
Step 4
Run the heated iron over the cloth in the area where the marks are for no more than 3 or 4 seconds.
Step 5
Remove the cloth from the table.
For Ink and Heat Marks
Step 1
Wipe the surface of the table with a clean dustcloth.
Step 2
Mix a small amount of toothpaste with some of the baking soda to make a paste.
Step 3
Rub the paste over the heat mark with your fingers in a circular motion. The paste will begin to feel warm.
Step 4
Wipe the area clean with a damp cloth.
