How To Remove Water Stains from Your Table

We had a gathering of friends for dinner.  Devon made delicious tomato soup.  But, when everyone left, there were about 6 of these water stains left behind.

One of my friends recommended baking soda and vinegar, but that didn’t work.  So, I googled and saw that some people recommended removing the stains with a hot iron.  I was a little freaked, but I couldn’t leave these on my table.

It took a few tries to get the “iron out the water stain” method to work, but here’s what worked for me.

*Take a thin (I used an old t-shirt) cloth, fold it over (so there are two layers) and place it over the stain.

*Put the iron on high and gently rub the cloth starting at the outside of the stain and working your way to the inside.

For the stubborn stains, it took a bit more patience and ironing, but it worked.
