Choosing your dining furniture is a lot of fun especially if you have a big family that loves to gather around the table and chitchat over your famous home-cooked recipes. Maintaining that furniture, though, is a completely different story. If you invested in an expensive dining set, the more different you'll find things to be. Sharing unforgettable moments around that cherry table may come casually, but taking care of it will need you to get into a serious mode if you just can't take chances.
Perhaps the most bothersome thing you'll deal with when it comes to your dining investment is water spillage. If you thought it's harmless, you're wrong. It's only a matter of time before water causes permanent damage to your wood so before it does, check if you've wiped off the spillage or moisture.
The worse news is those white rings don't even at all times work together. When the spots don't clear, don't be quick to reach for that polish yet. What should work is a high dryer set on low heat. But don't think increasing the temperature is unavoidably better. While this may make the ring disappear, it will only be because you've dissolved the finish.
If the heat's not working still, rub the area using steel wool with lemon oil or wool lube for a dull or satin -finished piece. Don't stop even when the ring has disappeared as you'll want to even out the sheen by rubbing over the whole table top. Very important is to rub along the natural grain of the wood in long, consistent strokes from end to end before wiping off excess oil and applying the polish.
If that piece has a glossy finish, count on toothpaste to do the trick. Simply squeeze out about a centimeter into a dry cotton towel and start rubbing on the ring. Now and then, this leaves that part shinier than the rest so you'll need to grab some rubbing compounds and polishes as you would apply them on a car's surface. If it gets too shiny, just rub the whole surface with steel wool before smoothing on your favorite polish.
If toothpaste doesn't do the trick, try putting some Vaseline on the ring and wipe it off until it clears completely. If it still doesn't, the complexity may be beyond repair unless the whole thing is refinished. - 30228
