This will inevitably happen within the home, but rest assured here’s a few tips that take the heat out of the stain

2. Secret Tip: Smear a tiny wedge of butter over the stain until it is fully covered – this needs to
be left covered for 12 hours so that the wood can absorb the oily properties. After 12 hours – scrape or wipe of any
