Product Information

Pour the Rustins Ring Remover onto a lint free cloth and rub with pressure over the mark in the direction of the grain until the mark is removed.

Sand the area: Use fine-grit sandpaper to gently sand the burn mark, either by hand or by using a sanding tool. This removes the top layer of the wood and is excellent for dealing with surface-level burns. Be careful not to sand too aggressively, as this can damage the wood further and leave an uneven surface. Moisture stains, often seen as white rings or spots on wood surfaces, are caused by the interaction of water and the finish on the wood. If the finish on your wooden table is soluble in ethanol, such as shellac, you can remove heat marks by reintroducing alcohol to the wood. This will re-saturate it and allow the moisture to escape. Although the above cleaning practices can remove most stains from wooden surfaces, prevention is a better solution. Use mayonnaise or petroleum jelly: Apply mayonnaise (it’s weird, but trust us!) or petroleum jelly to a microfibre cloth and rub the stain in circular motions. For tougher stains, apply a small amount directly to the watermarks and leave it overnight. Wipe it off the next day using a clean cloth, and the stain should be noticeably diminished.

Ironing method: Place a clean, white cloth or towel over the moisture stain and set your iron to its lowest heat setting. Gently iron the cloth, moving it in circular motions for about 15 to 20 seconds. The heat from the iron will help lift the moisture from the wood, removing the white stain from its surface. Less abrasive than sandpaper, Liberon’s Ultra Fine Steel Wool can be used to remove heat marks from wood.
