    1. Using fine grit sandpaper, lightly sand the surface.
    2. Pause frequently to wipe away the dust and check your progress. Also, ensure you are not sanding so much wood away that you leave a depression.
    3. Repeat until the stain is gone or until you start to wear away the wood.

    If the sanding is noticeable, lightly scuff the rest of the surface with the sandpaper so it matches.

  • you could try soaking a rag in vinegar and letting the cloth sit on the stain for a while. It should lighten. You could also try mineral spirits.

    You r best option is o sand it off. You can also use a little paint stripper to fade it also.

    Get some stripper that says its a stain remover on the front to remove the stain.
