When the wood is dry you will be able to tell if you have removed the stain. If the mineral spirits have not done the job, you may need to repeat these steps. Once the surface is dry and the stain has been removed, it's a good idea to polish the wood to restore its luster. Apply wood polish sparingly with a soft cloth. Rub in a circular motion until all the polish is absorbed by the wood.
