Table Water Rings

Get those white marks – caused by hot cups or sweating glasses – off your coffee table or other wooden furniture with the simple steps below.

Solution 1

Make a paste of 1 tablespoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon water. Gently rub the spot in a circular motion until it disappears. Remember not to use too much water.

Solution 2

When your regular furniture polish doesn't work, try using a dab of car wax. Trace the ring with your finger to apply the wax. Let it dry and buff with a soft cloth.

Solution 3

Try petroleum jelly. Apply to ring and let it sit overnight. In the morning, wipe the watermark away with the jelly.

Solution 4

Gently rub some non-gel toothpaste on the wood with a soft cloth, then wipe it off with a damp cloth and let it dry before applying furniture polish.
