<human>:  How to remove a stain from wood furniture?
<bot>: First, identify the type of stain and what it is made of. You can use a damp cloth to test the stain and see if it wipes away. 2 If the stain is still visible, use a mild detergent, such as dish soap and warm water, to spread evenly over the stain. Leave it on the stain for several minutes and then use a dry cloth to gently wipe away the soap. 3 To be extra careful, perform a spot test on an inconspicuous area first in order to make sure the detergent isn't damaging the finish. 4 If the stain does not wipe away with the mild detergent, use a more intensive cleaner, such as a commercial-grade wood cleaner or an oxygen-based bleach solution. 5 Once the stain is gone, wipe down the area with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
