<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 3065593, member: 5398"]You might try lightening the stain with artist's chalk/pastel "dust." I use a set of various colors that I bought at a thrift store so I can blend colors to match what I'm trying to fix. I first rub the chalk sticks vigorously on a separate piece of paper until there's an accumulation of dust, then use a Qtip or dry artist's brush to blend the colors until it looks right, then brush/rub the blended dust onto the stain. It's kind of a trial and error process. If some gets onto other areas it can usually be removed with a dry or damp brush or Qtip. It's not a perfect solution, but can make a stain less noticeable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
