Hi Debra, Here's a video that uses and iron. I know you said you tried it, but maybe they did it a little different? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZjqi1_hn50
Good luck!
I've never had a table I haven't been able to return to normal using the tried and true iron on steam hovering over a towel for a 15-20 seconds. If you choose not to do this again, may I suggest covering the white area with olive oil or another neutral oil, let sit overnight, and then wipe and polish.
There is information here on HomeTalk about restaining using a gel stain or painting. I've read that usually under laminate there is particle board, so unless you want to deal with that, painting is probably the best bet.

Thank you so much. I didn't have the iron that high out of fear of doing more damage, but I will try it today. Thanks for the quick response and the reassurance in solving my problem. I also have not tried the olive oil. Can you use that real wood? I also have a heat spot on my dining room and I will try the olive on it first, before trying the iron trick.
