How to Remove Water Rings from Wood Tables

The Logic Verdict

My Take: The video author notes: “Here’s how to remove a heat stain or water mark from a wood table // In this video, I try two different techniques to get rid of a nasty water stain that was left on my wood kitchen table after a party. After a bunch of research, I came across 2 techniques that others have said to work.” In my experience, you should start by following the visual inspection steps shown in the video.

The Science

The white ring is water trapped between the wood and the wax/varnish layer.

Step-by-Step Removal

1. Hair Dryer: Use a hair dryer on low heat, moving back and forth over the ring.
2. Iron Method: Place a dry cotton towel over the ring. Iron on low (no steam) for a few seconds. Check frequently.
