    It seems to me that I recently saw a post about this on Hometalk. I don't recall all the details, but it had to do with using your iron on a very low setting and I cannot recall if it's cloth or paper or something else that you use. Perhaps a search of the site would be more helpful than me. :-)

      The iron method works for wood with water marks. Here's the exact directions (easier to copy & paste.)


      Put a dry cloth on the water mark.

      Place a clothes iron set on medium heat on the cloth.

      Warm the surface with the iron without overheating the wood.

      Remove the iron and cloth several times.

      Rub the surface down with a cloth until it's cool.

      Apply furniture polish to the furniture.


      Good luck!

    Hello Ronmark; I had such a thing happen to one of my Antique tables at a party....

    I ended up using Homax Furniture White Ring Remover Cloth. I purchased it at Home Depot.

    I tried some of the Home remedies, and they did not work out for my Antique table.

    I hope that this helps you!!! Take Care!

    I used a slightly damp cloth placed over the white ring then used an iron on low setting. It disappeared in seconds.
