How to Deal with Water Stains on Furniture

After spending thousands of your hard-earned cash completing all the furniture sets at your home, the next thing you should consider is to make sure that these investments last as long as they can. Take note that water stains are the most common possible causes of damaged possessions. For that, here are a few simple tips on how to deal with this problem easily and effectively.

Before anything else, you have to prepare the tools and materials that you are going to use, namely towel or cloth, sponge, fabric soap, water, white vinegar, steam iron, rubbing alcohol, cigarette ash, vegetable oil, hard furniture wax, and leather shoe polish.

Afterwards, you need to sort out your furniture according to what it is made of. The wooden types, although they are usually protected by lacquer, can still suffer from water stains, which cannot be removed by ordinary polish. To eliminate the stain, gently wipe the furniture regularly with a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol. If it disappears, you can then buff it with some hard furniture wax and, if not, smear it with a mixture of cigarette ash and oil before swabbing it with a dry towel and then finish off with the wax.

For the leather type, on the other hand, you must rub it clean with a sponge that is slightly dampened with water and then, after it dries, a small amount of leather shoe polish will do the rest. Furthermore, for fabric types, if the covers are removable, take them out and lightly wet them with a cloth and then iron the reverse part at a very low heat. To make sure that the stain is washed off, you can also use fabric soap and white vinegar successively before leaving it to air dry.
