# Removing a Burnt Spot on Particle Wood
Particle wood is made of small pieces of wood and sawdust that are then glued together. It's usually covered with a laminate. Burn marks on particle wood can be either a surface burn or a deeper burn. If the burn is deep, there's nothing you can do short of replacing the board, because you can't sand particle wood. But there are several ways to clean a surface burn, as long as it didn’t penetrate the laminate over the wood.
