Someone forgot to use a coaster? Get rid of that unsightly white stain by using these methods.
You Will Need
- A rag
- Toothpaste
- Baking soda
- A small bowl
- ½ tsp. mayonnaise
- Ashes from cigars, cigarettes, or burnt paper
- Furniture polish
Step 1: Dampen a rag
Dampen a rag and wring out the excess water.
Step 2: Mix toothpaste and baking soda
Mix a paste of equal parts toothpaste and baking soda in the small bowl.
Step 3: Gently rub into stain
Gently rub the paste into the stain with the damp rag.
Repeat this process if it doesn’t all come out the first time.
Step 4: Try mayonnaise and ashes paste
Mix ½ teaspoon mayonnaise with enough ashes to make a thick paste.
Step 5: Rub the stain
Dip the rag into the paste and rub the watermark until the stain disappears.
A black stain means the stain has penetrated beyond the finish into the wood and will need to be stripped, sanded, and refinished.
Step 6: Wipe off paste and polish
Wipe off the paste and polish the furniture as you normally would.
Did you know? In 2009, a chair owned by Yves Saint Laurent and referred to as “The Dragons” was sold at a Christie’s Auction House for $28.3 million.
