Wooden items in the home, shop or garage that have been used for a long time can be scorched, whether it is furniture, wood planks, table tops or wooden toys. Of course, there’s no way to repair burnt-to-ash wood, but you can deal with light burns without much difficulty. If it’s part of a hardwood—such as an ash, oak, or beech floor—it’s best to sand or scrape the burned wood before patching it up with epoxy.
Steps
Treat shallow burns
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/19/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-1.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-1.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/19/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-1.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-1.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Purchase fine steel wool to treat burnt surfaces. The steel wool method is most effective on small, shallow burns, such as those caused by cigarette butts. You can go to the hardware store to buy the finest grade steel wool there. Ideally, steel wool number 0000 (finest grade). If you can’t find it at a hardware store, you can find it at home improvement stores. [1] X Research Source
- Unlike sandpaper, steel wool with fewer numbers is smoother, and “fine” steel wool is marked with the digits 0. For example, 000 steel wool is “extra fine,” and 00 is “smooth.”
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5f/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5f/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Moisten steel wool with mineral oil. Before rubbing steel wool on the wood, pour about ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) of mineral oil onto the wool. Mineral oil will lubricate the wool fibers and prevent scratching the wood. [2] X Research Source
- Buy mineral oil at hardware stores or home improvement stores. If mineral oil is not available, you can use another non-drying oil like lemon oil.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3e/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3e/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Rub damp steel wool over the burns. Take a steel wool in one hand and rub it in one direction over the surface of the wood burn. Scrub along the grain, not horizontally (otherwise damage to the wood surface may result). After 10-12 strokes, you should see the burn fade significantly. [3] X Research Sources
- Continue rubbing the tincture until the burn disappears.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b2/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-4.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b2/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use a clean, damp cloth to dry the oily area. Once the burn has been removed, take a clean rag soaked in water and wring out as much water as possible so that the rag is only slightly damp. Do not rub back and forth on wooden surfaces. Gently press the rag against the oiled wood surface to absorb any remaining oil after rubbing the wool. [4] X Research Sources
- If the rag is too wet, you will leave water stains on the wood.
- You don’t need any furniture polish if you’re only dealing with minor burns. Usually, just using oil is enough to protect the wood surface.
Repairs deeper burns
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5d/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-5.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5d/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-5.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Shave deep burns with the multi-purpose blade. The only way to remove burns deeper than 0.3 cm is to scrape the burned wood. Use a multi-purpose knife to pull the edge of the blade above the burn. Shave each short stroke in the direction of the wood grain, do not shave across the wood grain. [5] X Research Sources
- You can buy a multi-purpose knife (and a spare blade if you want) at the hardware store. Stationery stores also sell multi-purpose knives.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/ad/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/ad/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-6.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Flatten the damaged area with fine sandpaper. If the area around the burn is not damaged after scraping the burn, you can smooth the wood surface with sandpaper. Sand the sandpaper along the grain (not horizontally) with a back and forth motion until the indentation (formerly a burn mark) is leveled. [6] X Research Source
- Tool stores sell sandpaper. Choose fine sandpaper number 360 or 400. (Sandpaper with higher number is finer).
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b8/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b8/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-7.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use a damp rag to wipe away the remaining shavings on the wood surface. When you’re done scraping the burn and sanding the wood, you’ll see small piles of shavings remaining. To clean the wood surface, you can use a damp rag to wipe away the shavings. [7] X Research Sources
- It is important to use a slightly damp rag. Otherwise, you won’t be able to clean it, but just push the shavings around.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/06/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/06/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-8.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Apply betel nut oil to the wood surface to restore the wood color. You can buy betel nut oil at paint stores or home improvement stores. Dip a clean rag in betel nut oil and rub it over the previously burned areas. Rub each short stroke about 8-12 cm and remember to rub along the wood grain, not horizontally. [8] X Research Sources
- You can also use linseed oil, depending on the color of the wood being treated. The two oils are also similar, the main difference being that the linseed oil will gradually turn more yellow.
- Using linseed oil is beneficial if the wood you are repairing has a yellow tint.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/ff/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/ff/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-9.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wait overnight for the oil to infuse. Since betel nut oil (and linseed oil) is a non-drying oil, you will need to wait a few hours for the oil to soak into the wood and harden completely. Therefore, follow the instructions on the packaging of betel nut oil products, as some manufacturers may require wiping off the oil instead of allowing the oil to soak into the wood. [9] X Research Source
- If you are treating wooden floors, do not let children or pets walk on the oiled floor until the floor is dry.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e0/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e0/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-10.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Apply epoxy glue until the dent is filled up to level with the rest of the floor. Epoxy adhesives have a number of chemical components that are mixed together according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When the epoxy glue has reached the consistency of matt, use a mastic knife to rub the epoxy into the dent in the hardwood surface. [10] X Research Source
- Wait overnight or 6-8 hours for the glue to dry. While waiting for the glue to dry, do not allow children or pets to come near.
- You can easily buy epoxy glues suitable for wood at hardware stores or home improvement stores.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/56/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/56/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-11.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Flatten the epoxy putty on the floor with coarse sandpaper. A sheet of 80-grit sandpaper will be helpful in this step. Rub the sandpaper back and forth several times over the dry epoxy until the sealant is level with the surrounding floor area. Be careful not to rub too much on the wooden floor to avoid accidentally scratching the undamaged parts of the wood. [11] X Research Source
- Once you have finished sanding with 80 grit sandpaper, you can sand again with 120 grit sandpaper for a very smooth epoxy glue.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/50/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/50/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-12.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Stain color or paint over the filled burn to match the color of the floor. Use color or paint, depending on whether your floor is painted or stained (most hardwoods need to be stained). Dip the paintbrush in the color (or paint) and paint a coat over the area just repaired. Wait at least 4-5 hours for the color (or paint) to dry, then apply another coat that is darker than the rest of the floor. [12] X Research Source
- If you are unsure of the exact color of your floor, you can test a paint or color sample before using it. Try on a hidden corner of the floor.
Remove burn marks on dark wood
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/8e/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-13.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8e/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-13.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Mix baking soda and water into a paste. Burns on dark wood surfaces are usually white. To remove the burn, mix 1 teaspoon (0.3 g) of baking soda with 1/8 teaspoon (0.6 ml) in a small bowl. Use 1 finger (or spoon) to mix the 2 ingredients together until a paste is formed. [13] X Research Source
- The texture of the mixture should be relatively dry. If you mix too much water, the wood will end up smeared with water!
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f1/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-14.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f1/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-14.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-14.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use a clean rag to apply the mixture to the burn. Dab a little baking soda mixture on the corner of a clean cotton rag. Rub the mixture into the light-colored burn on the wood surface to gradually darken the burn, which will eventually disappear. [14] X Research Source
- If one piece of the paste is not enough to remove the burn, spread 2 or 3 more pieces of the mixture.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c8/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks- on-Wood-Step-15.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c8/Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-15.jpg/ v4-728px-Remove-Burn-Marks-on-Wood-Step-15.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Apply a furniture polish to restore the wood surface. Spray the furniture polish on another clean rag, then scrub the wood surface. This step will clean up the baking soda mixture and restore the burn to match the rest of the wood. Wipe along the grain of the wood and polish the solution in a smooth motion about 20-25 cm long. [15] X Research Source
- You can buy furniture polish at a hardware store if you don’t have one at home.
