Fill with warm water/dish soap. Let soak for a bit, do some rubbing if needed. After wringing out as much water as possible, I lay towels then the piece on top and roll to absorb as much extra water as possible. Then air dry on an indoor clothes drying rack. If after all of that the marks are still there - enjoy the charm and memory of having your mom's work.
