Water-stains from glasses on wood-furniture are annoying. Water can strongly damage your tables.

If these stains are removed fast, however, they are usually no problem and furniture and tables remain beautiful for a long time.

Water-rings on wood-furniture develop if water gets under the surface. This happens e.g. when putting a hot cup on a wood-table.

But also the water of an iced glass may cause these milky, white stains. Usually they occur on lacquered surfaces.

How to remove water stains on wooden furniture

Wait for one day before treating the spot with the water stain.

Some stains disappear when the moisture dries off. I

f this is not the case, remove the stain with the following means:

• A mixture of wax and ethyl alcolhol,
• or toothpaste and water,
• or salad-oil and ashj
• or olive-oil and salt.
• A mixture of household-ammonia and hot water is also possible.

Rub off the water-stain with one of these means. When the water-stain is removed, lacquer the spot again, or polish the treated place with furniture-wax.

An other mixture from my Grandma:

1/3 Balsam-Turpentine (resine from pine!)
1/3 Linseedoil
1/3 Cider-Vinegar
Fill the mixture in a bottle and shake it very well. Take a non fuzzing cloth and rub off the water-stain with the mixture. Polisch the treated place after drying.
