Place a paper towel on the burnished area and spray with water. Whle using a household iron on its hottest setting, press the iron down onto the paper towel 4-5 times, then use the paper towel to wipe the surface clean. Repeat the process if needed.
WOOD LOCKER CLEANING
Wipe a damp cloth in direction of the grain; for occasional polishing, use mild soap with water or wood polish such as Guardsman furniture polish.
