Hi,

Be careful with this, that it doesn't damage the surface. I use it on Formica at home. (But our westy doesn't have any Formica ... are you sure it's not painted wood?)

Mix about 1/8 C of bleach in a pint of water. Dip a paper towel into the solution and lay it over the stain. Check every five minutes to see if that gets rid of the stain.
