Visited a friend and the water glass left a mark on the bedside table?
+3
The table just seems to have a stain finish that is not waterproof. When I picked up the glass in the morning the water under the glass was tinted the color of the table and now there is a nice white circle. I'm states away so if I purchase a product I need to guess on color. There seemed to be no protective finish on the table at all.

hit the hardware store and pick up a small tin of the "white ring remover" http://www.kitchenandcompany.com/Storage-And-Cleaning/Polishes-And-Cleaners/Wood-Cleaners/_/Fox-run-White-Ring-Spot-Remover?tc=gfs13&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=Fox%20Run%20White%20Ring%20Spot%20Remover&gclid=COrm8Jek6bkCFS3hQgodyD0AYA this "old craftsman brand" is great but there are other that work just as well.

Thank you KMS- the water took the color finish right off the table. I wish I'd taken a photo... I am wondering if there is a finish you wipe on- like shoe polish but for furniture.

I have a very old cedar chest that gets water marked from occasional over spray or drip from a spathaphylum. I use a Beeswax and orange oil mix called Feed-N-Wax made by Howard Products. It protects the surface and the water marks pretty much disappear.

I have heard white toothpaste or mayo. I haven't tried it though so I am not sure. I don't think it would hurt to try as long as you didn't leave it on there but a sec. or 2

If it's a white ring from the moisture, put some Vaseline (petroleum jelly) on it and let sit for a couple of hours, then wipe off with a soft cloth. If you have taken the finish off down to bare wood, then short of refinishing you can try one of those cover crayons. They won't make it look like new, but it should help a lot. They also have wax in them to help with the shine.
