Aaagh!! Blackcurrent juice stain on wood!

Options
..Courtesy of my 9 year old daughter who has left a plastic mug of diluted blackcurrent juice on our unfinished wooden cabinet, which has subsequently left a dark ring stain pride of place in the centre of the surface..:mad:

Does anyone know how this can be removed? No amount of damp cloth and polish is doing anything to removed this eyesore..I have tried to search around for solutions, but can't seem to find much regarding wood stains. I have seen one sugestion of 'wood bleach?'

Any suggestions would be welcomed, as my wife is due back tomorrow (from work) and I really don't fancy breaking the news about her beloved cabinet..

    A mild abrasive such as toothpaste may take it off after a bit of rubbing

  • Metal polish or toothpaste should do the trick, but they may bleach the wood, so you may need to do the whole surface :o
