How to clean water stains from wood: FIVE households items you can use to clean furniture

Petroleum Jelly

If you’re out of mayonnaise you can always head to your bathroom cabinet for some petroleum jelly as a substitute.

Just repeat the circular buffing process to loosen the stain on your wooden furniture.

If you’re having no luck, leave the mayonnaise or petroleum jelly on the stain for two hours, or overnight for a deeper clean and rub off again the next morning.

Olive oil and vinegar

These kitchen staples made their mark in the world of cleaning a long time ago, but did you know that they can also clean water stains off of wood?
