Wooden tables are chic additions to a home's furnishings: coffee tables, countertops, and stands for lamps, vases, and other décor. Unfortunately, wooden tops are also magnets for setting atop beverage-filled mugs and glasses. White water rings or marks are annoying sights to the fastidious eye. And this is only one of the common forms of water damage on wood. Moisture, after all, is wooden furniture's worst enemy.

Wooden furnishings usually have protective coating finishes. In attempting to remove water stains, be sure to work only up to the depth that is affected. Start with mild compounds. Work with stronger chemicals only if the milder ones fail. Buffing the affected surface with liquid furniture polish might do the trick. Petroleum jelly or car wax may also be used. If these do not work, denatured alcohol can be used, but apply only sparingly. In using this improperly, one runs the risk of further damaging the finish.
It might be more advisable, however, to leave repair to professionals to avoid blowing up the problem. It also helps to get insurance against common damages on wooden furniture. Guardian Protection Products offers such coverage. Its plans can insure wooden furniture against stains, cracks, finish fading, and other singular, accidental instances of damage.
