The beauty of wood furniture can be easily ruined by those pesky water rings left behind by glasses and mugs. These unsightly marks can make even the most elegant pieces look neglected.
Removing water rings used to mean expensive cleaners or time-consuming scrubbing — until my sister shared a ridiculously simple trick. With just a hairdryer and a few minutes, you can restore your furniture’s original finish effortlessly.
Here’s how to do it:
Step-by-Step: How to Remove Water Rings from Wood
1. Clean the Surface
Wipe the affected area with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris.
2. Grab a Hairdryer
Use a standard hairdryer and plug it in. Set it to medium heat — not too hot!
3. Apply Gentle Heat
Hold the dryer about 2 inches away from the water ring. Move it back and forth slowly across the area.
Important: Keep the dryer moving to avoid overheating one spot.
4. Watch the Ring Fade
Within a couple of minutes, you’ll start to see the ring fade. Keep applying heat until it disappears completely — usually within 3 minutes.
5. Polish and Protect
Once the area cools down, use a wood polish to restore shine and add a layer of protection to the surface.
This trick is quick, effective, and requires no special tools — just something you already have at home. Next time you spot a water ring, skip the stress and reach for the hairdryer.
