My daughter was playing near a reed diffuser at my Mother's house and marred a wood built-in with grease rings. Short of sanding and refinishing, is near anything I can do?
Here's a link to what a reed diffusor is:

Thanks contained by advance for your oblige!
Answers: Much depends on the type of oil that stained the furniture, ie mint grease, or jasmine, or whatever.
Much depends on the type of finish and the age of it.
Maybe the store that sold you the oil and the diffuser may have an theory.
Maybe a local furniture refinishing outlet might have an model.
Maybe a local chemistry department at a local college might have an opinion.
The main issue is, that anything you try "at random", could variety the problem WORSE!
So, you can't just try putting a wet piece of cotton on the thing, and hope the grease residue will 'float up'. Nor can you safely try rubbing alcohol or something resembling that.
If you are very lucky, polishing the piece beside an oil base furniture polish, gently and obligingly, might help.
Failing that, how more or less trying NOT to hide it? Maybe you could append several more stains (on purpose) and make an attractive customized stencil out of the several rings that will result.
Good luck. Let us know how things turn out.

You can take a thesis towel and place it on the wood. Then take a hot iron and iron insubstantially on the paper towel. The roast will bring up the oil to the surface and soak it up. You obligation to keep using a verbs paper towel once some of the grease comes up so you don't get it on the iron or wager on on the wood.
Do the same for the bits and pieces lining surrounded by the boot
