   The iron is the best first choice.  Try it over brown paper before using the wet clothes, too.

   Thanks for the reply--I'll call them and tell them.

   You can use the hot iron trick but if the floor has finish on it the steam will have a hard time penetrating into the cells.

   I concur with what ted advised. The hot iron with steam may do a good deal of damage to the finish. If he has a scrap piece of the floor, he should use that as a trial. Or perhaps trying the procedure in a closet.

   On raw wood, steaming a dent can darken the wood. The depression is removed but a blemish will remain.

   Thanks to you and Ted. I wondered about the finish, but .... I'll ask--it sounds like the dent is almost unnoticeable; may be better to leave it alone than to really make it obvious by darkening it or ruining the finish! I'll ask if he has a scrap to test on.
