3po3 on Dec 29, 2011There have been a couple of good threads about this. My recommendation is rubbing in baking soda paste. Here are some threads with other suggestions: http://www.hometalk.com/activity/1565 http://www.hometalk.com/activity/14520 Good luck, BarbaraHelpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Dec 30, 2011If I used peanut butter I would have dog lick marks all over them. Its bad enough that when we use lemon oil that he licks that stuff. He would go crazy with peanut butter. In any case. Cornstarch instead of baking soda works well also. The cornstarch is a finer powder and less likely to scratch the surface. This also can be used to polish Corian counter tops to bring the shine back into them.Helpful Reply

3po3 on Jan 06, 2012Hooray. That's good to hear. It has worked for me, too, but it was on a natural finish, so I wasn't sure how it would work on fancier finishes.Helpful Reply
