Removing Water And Caffeine Stains
~ Usually, furniture stains when the moisture trickling down from a cold drink or coffee/tea cup breaks into the wood by seeping through the wood wax.
~ Apply gel-free toothpaste, mayonnaise, or salad oil on a polishing cloth and rub thoroughly on the stained area.
~ Then, with a clean damp cloth, remove the film. Now use a wood polish to make the area look sparkling new.
~ Place a thick blotting paper over the stained area and place a warm iron over it. Repeat the procedure a few times till you find the stain fading away.
