Removing White Water Rings And Spots
* Buy a powder called Rottenstone from your hardware store. Dampen a soft cloth with cooking oil and sprinkle the powder on it. Rub the stain lightly in the direction of the grain, if the stain remains, use grade FFF pumice powder in the same manner. This is a harsher abrasive and may dull the finish. If it does, follow with the Rottenstone to restore the gloss.
* Try applying mayonnaise and rubbing it in. Let stand for an hour. Wipe with a clean soft cloth.
* Sometimes baby oil will remove rings on dark wood. Also, on marble.
* Cover each spot with a generous amount of white petroleum jelly. Allow it to remain for 24 hours, then rub into the wood. Remove the excess and polish in usual manner.
* Dampen a soft cloth with water. Squeeze it out. Put a dab of toothpaste on the cloth and buff away the white ring.
