Remove Water Rings from Wood with a Hair Dryer

The Problem

Someone left a glass without a coaster. Now there's a white ring on your good table.

The Hack

Point hair dryer on high at the water ring from 2 inches. Move slowly for 2-3 minutes. Ring fades away.

Why It Works

White rings are moisture trapped in the finish. Heat evaporates it, restoring the original look.

Pro Tips

• Follow with mayo or olive oil for extra restoration
• Don't use on wax finishes — heat melts wax
• Works on old and new stains
• Prevention: always use coasters
