Water Rings and Water Spot Removal From Furniture ... by Using Cloth Rags ...
Water Rings and Water Spot Removal From Furniture
First immediately remove the wet object from the surface. Blot the surface dry to the touch. Wait. The water that has seeped into the surface needs to evaporate. Most water rings will disappear given a little time. You can use a hair dryer set on the lowest setting to acelerate the process BUT do not set the dryer any higher. This will melt the finish rather than dry the surface. If the ring persists then you need to try another method.
If the surface has a dull sheen, often called satin, use some lemon oil with #0000 steel wool. Put the oil on the steel wool and rub lightly in the direction of the grain. You may need to rub the rest of the surface to have the sheen blend together. Use long even strokes and go from edge to edge. After the table looks evenly rubbed, wipe off the lemon oil and polish.
If the surface has a glossy sheen you can use a little white toothpaste on a dry cotton towel to rub out the ring. Again you may need to rub the whole surface down to even out the sheen. Wipe clean and polish.
If none of this helps, the moisture may have penetrated through the finish and you will need to refinish the piece.
