Answer
Here are some effective ways to remove water stains from a wood table top using common household products:

Vinegar and Water

Mix equal parts distilled white vinegar and water in a small bowl. Soak a microfiber cloth in the solution, wring it out so it's damp but not dripping wet, and place the cloth over the stain. Let it sit for an hour, then remove and check if the stain has lifted. Repeat if needed25.

Baking Soda or Salt Paste

Make a paste with baking soda or salt by adding a few drops of water. Gently rub the paste into the stain using a clean cloth, moving in the direction of the wood grain. Let it sit for a few minutes before wiping clean with a damp cloth3.

Toothpaste

Apply a small amount of plain white (non-gel) toothpaste to the stain and gently rub it in using a clean cloth. The mild abrasives in the toothpaste help break down the stain. Wipe clean with a damp cloth

3.

Iron

Place a clean, white cloth over the stain and set a warm iron (no steam) on the cloth for 30 seconds. The heat helps draw the moisture out of the wood. Avoid overheating, as it may damage the finish

4. If the stain persists after trying these methods, it may have penetrated deeper into the wood. In that case, you may need to lightly sand the area and refinish the tabletop. For stubborn stains, it's best to consult a professional furniture restoration expert.

  • 00:00 Hey guys thanks for joining me. Today. My name is Julia with Konkin can do and today Konkin can remove watermarks from your table mm-hmm okay. So we had a party a couple weeks ago and didn't put any sort of protection on this kitchen table that we have here and somebody putting a paper plate full of hot, fresh off the grill hotdogs and left this 'beautiful' water stain. As you can see this table is already not in the best shape in the world. It's kind of scuffed up and everything. You might as well see if you can fix it without spending any money. The first technique we're going to try is the two-faced technique. All you need for that is a wet rag and if you haven't guessed already, some toothpaste. So all I'm going to do is put a little toothpaste on it.

  • 00:55 Once you have the toothpaste covering the stain, you're supposed to leave it on for about 30 seconds ok. So it's been about 30 seconds and we're going to wipe it off. Oh my gosh this is pretty amazing actually now that I'm letting it dry. You can actually see that the watermark is starting to return. It's a little bit disappointing I thought for a second that this was really going to work. So the toothpaste technique didn't pass the test .

  • 01:31 The second technique I'm going to try is the iron technique. With this all you need is either a napkin or a cloth or a t-shirt that's 100% cotton and an iron. You're good to go. A couple of tips before we get started. You want to make sure that your iron steam setting has been turned off. A lot of people say no. We do want to use steam, well I would say try it without. Steam first because really what you're trying to do is heat up the water that's stuck underneath the finishing so that it evaporates and you don't have any more stain. Also you want to make sure that you don't have the iron on the table for too long because you are going to do additional damage. And take it slow.

  • 02:09 Slow and steady wins the race. I've got my cotton cloth. I folded it a couple times as you can see. I've got the stain under this area here. Okay nice and hot. So all I'm going to do is hold. The iron down for a couple seconds at a time on top of the cloth oh okay that looks pretty good so far. But there's still a lot of stain left. I'm going to put the cloth back down and try it some more. Let's try it again so as you can see. This is a pretty stubborn stain.

  • 03:09 It's definitely made a huge improvement but the wood is now starting to get pretty hot. And I'm going to just give it a couple seconds to come back to a more neutral temperature as you can see. It's still a little bit water markie. But it's way better than it was before. I'm going to just let the table cool down a little bit more and try it one more time and this time I'm actually going to take my cotton cloth and I'm going to remove one of the folds because I folded it twice alright. Let's take a look. Wow okay now I'm really starting to become impressed.

  • 04:09 So let's do it again. At this point the stain is about 95 percent gone whoo I can't believe this is working so well. Okay there's still a little bit of a stain left as you can see, so you know what, I'm just going to bite the bullet and open my cloth all the way up. I just can't believe it I can hardly even see where the stain was. Already like I am so impressed. Okay let's just give this a try see if we can totally get rid of it. All right, ready for the reveal? Whoo! Okay, I am really excited that this worked. I'm back.

  • 05:03 It's been about half an hour. The table is still a little warm but as you can see it looks way better than it did before. So. I'm really no expert on refinishing tables or fixing anything especially when it comes to wooden furniture. But I was able to remove that nasty watermark just with a couple of household items and a little can-do attitude. So remember, if I can do it, so can you.
