Ah cool, so you already soaked it up, so you could probably skip the paper towel part. And yeah, dish soap helps remove oils/grease from dishes but it'll also pick up oils from furniture and is probably your best bet. Might be soaked in a bit now though. Also there's wood-friendly stain removers if you want to go out right now
tried the dish soap but it looks soaked in at this point. It feels a little indented, just a tiny tiny bit. Would staining do the trick on its own or should i sand down first?
You should always sand before painting/staining wood, it helps keep it uniform and soak into the wood better. Good luck to you on your hunt for a matching stain!
E- just saw someone else in the thread (69fart69) with staining tips and their advice is on point
