I have just removed several red wine stains from a polished pine coffee table as follows: First, rub each stain several times with a cotton bud soaked in hydrogen peroxide (available from supermarkets), keep rubbing gently for several minutes. Next spray on some Sard Oxy Plus Power Stain Remover (laundry stain remover), rub again for a few minutes with the cotton bud. Wipe surface-dry with an absorbent wipe. Leave for several hours. The next morning the stains had vanished completely, but the surface was dull. Rub the area and blend to the surrounding area with 000 wire wool dabbed in dark antique wax furniture polish, let dry for a minute or two and buff off with a soft cotton cloth. Result – perfect.
