    Don't have any idea about the maple - sorry.

    May be a bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted but you can buy a protective mat for him to use in the future - about a fiver from EBay.

    Try equal parts of lemon juice and olive oil - rubbed gently into the mark and left to dry.
