How to Repair Water Rings on an Oak Table Top

Water rings or water stains on oak table tops detract from the richness of the wood. When coasters aren't used, the water that condenses on the sides of drink glasses drips down onto unprotected table tops, which leads to white water rings. The water absorbs into the wood, making the marks difficult to remove just by wiping with a cloth. Certain products break down the substance in the rings, allowing their complete removal from oak table tops. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Wipe the oak table with a soft cloth to remove excess moisture or dust.

3

4

Spray furniture polish onto the oak table after removing the water rings, and wipe clean with a soft cloth.
