HELP - Disaster with stain removing powder

Comments

i work for a chemical company
ill ask there (probs my boss lol) if there are any suggestions.
im racking my brains now as we speak but its dead! i think because you have stained the wood (the product has soaked into the wood) then you are kinda bug-gered.
orange glo products....ive been working on them and they are good but i dont think they will help in this instance as the wood has been stained.
will probs be monday evening if thats alright?

Oh.... try hydrogen peroxide for your stain.....be careful its an oxidising product so wear gloves and dont keep near other chemicals like acid and bleaches etc.Certified Resident Wanty Stalker #001

Thanks everyone,
Have been visiting my parents for the weekend so only just checking the more recent replies.
No Tescos didn't get back to me which I think is a bit rubbish, even if they can't help they could have at least rung to say so.
Managed to get the Tea Stain out eventually - I took the tablecloth to my mum's who has some vanish stuff which worked a treat (and she ironed it for me - aren't mums great!)
As for the work surface, I'm going to take debt_free_chick's advice and sand it down and use Tung Oil which I'll try and find this week (unless abdulinyourface comes back with an alternative quick fix - think I have burnt the wood though so not holding my breath:( ).
I don't think I've ever had a kitchen with wooden surfaces like this before so I never realised what a nightmare they are! Oh well I've learnt my lesson now!!
Thanks again everyone :T , it's lovely to have an online support network when things like this happen!Feb 14 GC - £89.37/£3000
