Is this a white heat mark or actual burn? For white heat mark mix pastes of mayo and cigarette ash, run in and leve on for 20 minutes and wipe clean. For burn mark that is not too deep, mineral spirts rubbed in with dry fine steel wool pad may do the trick.

If it is a white heat mark:

There are all sorts of products to buy for removing ring marks and we find that none of them actually work. The only method we use is dangerous, extreme fun and we have only known it not work twice. But we take no responsibility if you get it wrong! You need methylated spirit, cotton wool and a cigarette lighter. Just dampen the cotton wool with the meths and hold only in your left hand. Hold the lighter in your right hand. Wipe over the ring mark with the cotton wool, make sure that your hand is well away and flick the lighter on at the edge of the mark. The meths will light and the mark will disappear. Do you want to know why? Well the white mark is caused by putting something hot and wet on the table, such as a dripping mug of tea. The heat opens up the pores of the timber which soak in the moisture. As the cup cools the moisture is trapped inside the wood. Meths burns at a very low temperature and does not burn for long. What happens is that the lit meths opens up the pores long enough for the moisture to escape before they close up again. This way you are not disguising the mark, you are removing it. But remember: Only use meths, make sure you use the smallest amount, if it burns for more than 3 second then just blow out the clear flame as you would blow out birthday candles and do not set fire to the cotton wool or your fingers. It will hurt! Also remember that heat resisting mats for your table are not a license to put 200 degree pans on. You will damage your table, the mats resist heat they don't repel it!

How to remove heat mark from kitchen worktop?

A burn mark on a kitchen worktop could be permanent. This depends on the material the worktop is made from. If the worktop is made of wood, it is possible to sand the burn mark and then refinish. If the worktop is made of man made materials, it is likely the work top will need to be replaced.
