Removing stain from 865 Siminois?

When I went to bed last night the table was fine. I knew I'd be playing this am so I din't cover it. At 11 this morning I turned on the light and there was a big stain along one rail.

It's about 3 diamonds long and 1 diamond wide... oval shaped, dark outline where something was spilled... or something. My wife was the only person around and she would tell me if she had spilled something. Maybe the cat or the neighbors cat could have got in but there's no cat smell and it was dry to the touch at 11 am this morning.

Bottom line I have no idea what happended or what the stain is from and I won't be finding out.

Question is what to do about it. What do I clean the Siminois with. Is there a safe stain remover? Maybe something used for dry cleaning?

Thanks for any help you can give.

I never would have thought of brake cleaner. I tried Xenit, a Stoner product that cleans about anything but it didn't work. I tried it first on a swatch of Siminois and it didn't appear to stain it but it has left a stain. So now I have the original and another. I suppose it will play about the same but it sure ruined the looks of the pool room. I just can't believe this. I go to work and come home and my freaking Simonis is ruined. Unreal!

I've used brake fluid many times for many things and have 3 or 4 cans of it in the garage. I'll try it tonight.. spray on a rag and then wipe the cloth so the spary doesn't go onto the rubber cushions.

Other ideas? Thanks much guys!!

Are you sure it is a stain and not the humidity playing tricks on you.

But thanks for the bump.
