Hi

My daughter has a coffee table which is made out of rubberwood. She accidentally left a pink highlighter on it, spilled some water on the table and somehow it has stained it in that area Pink. Does anyone know if there is anything that will get it off without damaging the table?

Cheers Con
 
Try using a warm iron on brown paper over the stain area. It works well on veneers and polished surfaces for water stains, but I am not sure about the pink colour.

It will not do any harm to try it.

Hi Les

Sorry I did not let you know the outcome, unfortunately it did not work. Goodness knows what is in the highlighter to cause such a stain. To hide it she has placed her telephone on the table.
