dining table.
When they'd finished, she began to clear away and discovered
that
the heat/grease from the meal had caused transfer from ( I
guess ) the delivery label on the bag, on to the table.
See pics at www.ljt.me.uk
She has tried various substances from soap and water to white
spirit to shift it but, so far, with little effect.
Table is a laminate of some sort.
Any thoughts on how to rescue the table ( and stop her being
such
a stupid cow in future )?


It looks like the ink from a permanent felt-tip marker. If it
is you
just need the right solvent. Try alcohol (some neat vodka would
do),


That'll break her heart

WD40 or acetone (nail varnish remover). Be careful though,
acetone in
particular might damage the surface of the table.


Think I'll suggest the toothpaste / vodka / WD40 - don't think
she should be trusted with acetone.

Nail varnish remover..its likely she has some..

alcohol unlikely to lift it.
