Rub the mayonnaise in to the scorch mark...mind you I just read wood effect, so not a real wood table? If it is a plastic coat over mdf then I think you have had it, buy a fruit bowl...it will look good on the table cloth

Was it a steam iron?

Because, if it was, and you're really, really lucky, the marks might be a sort of water bloom on the polish, and they might dry out.

Don't do anything drastic today!

with real wood, the answer is to iron brown wrapping paper, on the burn mark.
its got to be the old fashioned brown paper for parcels.
