Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Put a cloth over the area. Use the cloth to gently buff away at the water mark. It is important that you do not press too hard, since this can cause the water to become even more embedded into the wood.
Step2
Continue to wipe at the stain until the water is completely soaped up. If this has removed the stain, no further steps are required.
Step3
Find a furniture polish that has an oil base. Attempt to buff at the stain with the furniture polish until it has completely vanished.
Step4
Mix together baking soda and water. This paste can be used if the other methods have been unsuccessful at getting rid of the mark.
Step5
Cover the water mark with a generous layer of the paste. Leave it on the spot for several hours. Wipe it away with a dry cloth and the stain should be gone.
