Oil scent stain on dining table

Hi, Sadly I spilled some scented oil on my dining table and it now has a horrible dark stain. Any suggestion how I can get rid of it?

See image for reference.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums.

Any idea what finish, if any, is on the table? Without knowing, I would start with mineral spirits.

Mineral spirits would also be my first choice. It shouldn't be too difficult to remove the stain if it's on top of the finish but it almost looks like it's soaked thru it

Foaming Carpet Cleaner

There is a lot of "how to" on the web about mixing your own carpet cleaning solutions. I like the foaming stuff in spray cans. Obviously, the compressed liquid becomes a foam as it exits the valve and the pressure drops. I've got one quart, two quart, one gallon, and two gallon tank sprayers. Is there any combination of chemicals I can mix in a tank sprayer that is similar to the foaming product from spray cans?

Cracks in sink basin coating

I have a sink that has a plastic coating. I guess this is called a composite sink. There are cracks in the coating around the drain hole. Is there any way to fix them or make them look at least less bad? Thanks
