    Hi Gwendolyn, This same question was put on Home Talk about a month ago. The solution was to put a towel over the stain and then put your iron on it. The iron should be set on a low setting. Keep a good eye on it. Keep lifting the iron and towel to see if any progress has been made. If the stains are really bad, you may need to repeat. Each attempt should be no longer than 20 - 30 minutes. I hope this helps you.

    What kind of wood floors do you have? Are they unfinished or finished? By water stains, do you mean dark stains that have penetrated the wood or water marks in the finish? I am sure that with a little more info and maybe a picture, the Hometalk community can come up with helpful answers.
