Worked! Sweet! Thank you. I had water marks on my cherrywood Crate and Barrel dining table that's over 20 yrs old. Happened over xmas when I had mini potted Trader Joe's plants as gifts sitting on the table. The spots ironed right out.
I tried using the steam iron technique for removing a water stain on my dining room table. IT WORKED! The stain is gone. one person recommended using a microfiber cloth. I would recommend against it. I tried it first and the microfiber stuck to the iron and left some residue on the face of the iron. A simple cotton towel worked without any sticking.
IT WORKS!!!!!!! Thank you for your video! I had severe water damage on a solid oak end table. I had given up on ever being able to restore it. I did what you said and it absolutely worked!
I didn’t use steam but it truly works, decades of water rings gone. 🤩 Also make sure to flip your towel over every 30 seconds to a minute so it doesn’t get tacky to the table.
This is an amazing technique. Just tried it on a water stain on my dining table. Used a damp flannel rather than a tee towel. Five seconds later the stain had vanished as if by magic. I'm absolutely delighted.
I tried it with a white Terry cloth towel and used lots of steam and I got all the beer bottle marks out within seconds... However it does dull out the finish but it ain't nothing "Pledge" can't fix. Thank you soooo much!!!
I just did this on my dining table that had a water stain from a whiskey glass. I tried olive oil and a few other things before this. It worked, no problem. Make sure there is no water in your iron, no steam. I recommend cotton be used.
Worked! Thought our kitchen wood surround was ruined. Not a trace left! FYI for others, I used (a) highest heat (b) steam setting (c) microfiber cloth.
I have a teak Danish nightstand (probably veneer) that I had put a covering on with a piece of tape to hold it in place. (Stupid move, I know.) When I removed the cloth and tape, there was a .75" X 1.50" white mark. Thought I was going to have to refinish the whole top. Watched the videos and after 6 months finally got up nerve enough to try the hot iron. Put the heat on high, and laid an old all-cotton T-shirt on it. Did not want to put water in the iron, so just spritzed the cloth lightly with water. It took 30 seconds to fix it! Hallelujah!! Now am going to sell it.
Just did this on a coffee table that had a huge heat mark from a pizza box- couldn’t you kill kids sometimes! Anyway, it worked and I’m utterly amazed! I tried it first with just a hot iron and this made slight improvement however, as soon as I applied light steam the marks disappeared! Thank you for showing this, I feel a little bit of magic has just happened.
I tried it first without the steam and it wasn't coming out. I used the steam to slightly wet the towel, then ironed it for about a minute, flipped the towel, and ironed it another minute and kept repeating until the stain was gone.

I loved the way you laughed when it disappeared! Ok I’m trying this
@@fiffe7782 so its like a sticker right? use to cover a board make it look like a real wood?mostly on computer tables, cupboards and cabinets? if thats the case what should I do?
I made the mistake of pressing the steam button. It was a lot harder to get that steam mark out. The steam that just comes without pressing the button worked better for me.
Blasting the steam into the towel makes the iron jump up a bit. It also made a round clear area within the stain, but ironing it more just brought back the entire stain.
Yea water stains are just trapped moisture. A hot iron and cotton cloth will do the trick just flip the towel every 20 seconds so the fibers don’t stick. Note: No water in iron!
Okay so I just did this and it worked great on the 19+ years worth of stains and rings but now I have one big white iron shaped stain. Should I leave it and then iron the iron stain later?
Darn I was hoping and praying that this would work but I think I made it worse! I am a pet sitter and I am house sitting/pet sitting for my clients this week and I made the mistake of putting a wet food bowl on their nice wooden table! I tried the iron trick but I think it just made it worse a bunch of heat streaks are now on there and it’s a lot more noticeable than the watermark. How much do you think it’s going to cost to fix because it looks like I’m gonna have get this professionally fixed for them.
The mark on my table was a water stain from a steaming hot pan. I honestly don't know if it would work for other types of water stains, but it's worth a shot. I think the big lesson learned from others commenting here is that is does NOT work if your table is veneer, or 'fake' wood. So maybe try a test spot that's not noticeable first to make sure the steam heat doesn't cause any damage? Curious to hear if it works for you!
I really wanted this to work. Just made it worse everytime. 3 of us tried working on it. As soon as we pulled the towel off, the stain just kept reappearing. Dark semi-gloss finish on the table. Super bummed.
@@DustyKim No worries! Your video was fantastic. I'm sure it works, just not on my table. Lol. Yes, it was the finish on the table that was the problem. But I used a product i bought from a box store called Restore A Finish and it came out great after a couple coats and selecting the correct color too of course. Lifesaver! Phew 😃
Enrique Rick Ramirez Try putting another hot pan over the iron stain to create the original hot pan stain. Then repeat the process to remove the first stain without leaving it there too long.
Be careful in knowing how your furniture is made. Cheap furniture is basically a paper picture of wood over particle board, and doing this would be a mistake.
@@carlsails58 For my table, steam was key. I am no expert but I suspect steam would be bad if it's veneer, or lacquered, or not solid wood. I bet it wouldn't fare well with a microfiber cloth either. No harm in trying it without steam to see if it works... better safe than sorry!

I agree... I would think the microfiber would sort of 'melt'
IT WORKS!!!!!!! Thank you for your video! I had severe water damage on a solid oak end table. I had given up on ever being able to restore it. I did what you said and it absolutely worked!
I did this as well but I was told to avoid steam so we poured the water out and set to cotton/ linen and it worked perfectly.
My iron is so old the steam doesn’t work. How long did it take without steam?

It worked! I had a huge water stain and now it is entirely removed! Thank you!
Laughed so hard that this worked. Used a microfiber cloth I use for my guitars and this actually worked right away. Thank you!
Awwwwww!!! Your happiness makes me so happy! That’s awesome! I’m about to tackle my own water stains myself right now… LOL!
Thank you!! I tried an iron without steam first and it didn't work. Steam did it within seconds!!
It worked! Thank you for showing this! I worked for almost an hour with a hairdryer on high and it did nothing. :)
Omg! This actually works! Thank you soooooo much :) You saved me from becoming sad every day :D
I wish I would have taken a before and after pic....worked like a champ for my water stain on the dining room table.
Omg it really works !!!
I couldn’t believe my eyes. Thank you so much
You are a lifesaver. Your RUclips saved my beautiful oak bar.
Thanks for your video. This Really worked for me too. I was too excited about getting the stain out that I forgot to take a before and after photo. ☹️

I love how happy this made you! Hope the table lasts you many more years! 😁
I can confirm it works, it is an excellent method!
It is, I've used it on other things too and it worked just fine.
I’m surprised you used steam. All the videos I saw said not to use steam. But obviously it did a wonderful job on the water stain
Wow! Will definitely try it on my coffee table, awesome
Thank you so much!! Worked like a charm ❤
Thank you thank you!! Your video just saved a passed down solid oak table !!
PSA: Don’t use on veneer. It seems to work best on solid wood only. That’s my experience, fwiw. Thanks for sharing:)
What is veneer
that because veneer is ironed on so if you use an iron you will take it off
@@freshleap fake wood pieces used to cover MDF and particle board
the veneer is glue on the iron will weaken the glue causing problems
@@fiffe7782 so its like a sticker right? use to cover a board make it look like a real wood?mostly on computer tables, cupboards and cabinets? if thats the case what should I do?
Same, steam or no water should be used.
Steam did the trick for me. I tried without at first but no luck. Thank you
Just amazing - worked brilliantly on my ring marks!!
Wow!! Worked for me. I had bubbles on my table from polyurethane
This method worked great on my cedar chest! Much improved.
Thank you so much for sharing. It works! 100%. God Bless you.
I just hunted down this video to say a great big THANK YOU!
You're very welcome! Glad it helped!
This worked so well! Thank you so much for sharing!!
I made the mistake of pressing the steam button. It was a lot harder to get that steam mark out. The steam that just comes without pressing the button worked better for me.
Good to know!
Does it take away the glow of the table?
It didn't on mine, though mine was plain wood... no polyurethane or varnish finish. I suspect it wouldn't work at well on a finished surface.
Thank you so much. It was very fast and it worked great. Thanks for your post.
Blasting the steam into the towel makes the iron jump up a bit. It also made a round clear area within the stain, but ironing it more just brought back the entire stain.
I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe use less steam? I'm not sure why it worked for me and so many others, but not for you.
Great video. I’m going to try it right now!
Thanks for the great demonstration!
Will the heat from the iron and steam damage the finishing of the wood surface?
It didn't on my table. I would not do this on veneer or a varnished surface.
@@DustyKim what do you think about trying it on parquet flooring?
@@bqwire I am not a pro, so wouldn't know. Although I always assumed parquet flooring is a type of veneer flooring. Personally, I wouldn't risk it.
I tried this on a water stain on a side table and it worked!
Thanks just removed a water stain from my wooden cutting board.
fantastic! I'm going to try it on my water stained dining room table too! :)

Ugh. I don't know for sure, but that's would I would try. It's the same kind of stain right?

It worked!!!! Thank you so much!
Did the stain come back after resting for hours?
Nope, never came back!
Works great, i think the steam is the key !
Thank you!
The iron works 🤗
This was awesome, thank you so much
You need to push the steam part of the iron to get the stain out
Thank you!!! I did mine it worked
I gotta show my grandma this! Thanks
This worked perfectly for me thank you
Works, good video.
just tried on a real expensive end table WORKED
What heat setting
For me one spirit mark is there.. is it work for me?
It really works thanks
Does anyone know it this would work on dark water rings as well or just heat stains????

Sorry it didn't work. I suspect it works best for unfinished wood. Laminates, veneers, varnishes... I anticipate YMMV.

Glad to know others are making waters spots dissappear!
Do not use steam use a dry iron on medium high heat and a thinner cotton fabric is best
Don’t use steam, use a low setting and a tea towel.
Its Works But l Left The Iron On Too Long. Now l Have An Iron Stain. How Do You Remove That Stain. Asking For A Friend
Enrique Rick Ramirez Try putting another hot pan over the iron stain to create the original hot pan stain. Then repeat the process to remove the first stain without leaving it there too long.
you saved meeeee🥺🙏🏻
I'll be trying this tomorrow
This also works on hand sanitizer stains.
Good to know! Thanks!
It worked like magic!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried this and it did not work. The stains did not disappear and the wood dried out in the areas I tried this on.
Yeah, it works.
Is it a 'heat stain' you are removing or 'water stain'?
It's a water stain from a pot of steaming hot water.
I wonder if it would be easier if you just dampened the towel to begin with.
Yip it works 🤠
I was getting so frustrated with this video because it's not the heat from the iron it's the steam from the iron. I'm a housekeeper
Awesome!
Be careful in knowing how your furniture is made. Cheap furniture is basically a paper picture of wood over particle board, and doing this would be a mistake.
Agreed. I imagine this would only work on natural wood.
It's the steam that removes the spot not the iron
Agreed, completely.
It took me a few minutes to get a small stain to increase to about the size of your stain! I tried different heat settings, steam - nothing worked!
Steam steam !!!!
Damn!!!!!!!! I’ll be darn!!!! 😎
Just did this and it destroyed my table
My Water Marks Are Black of oxidized ( maybe it was from plant pot) Van anybody help?
I dunno. I've not encountered that issue.
This completely ruined our table.
BS
Dang!
Anyone tried it on veneer table? I have moisture bubbles
I would not trust this method on veneer.
Wow, off to do my rimu coffee table that the two year old grand son dribbled on. Nothing worked, hoorah!!!!!
Well tickle me fanny with a feather , I just done my sheesham wood coffee table and hey presto it's gone
DON’T use steam :(:(
Why not use steam. Am about to try it!
@@carlsails58 For my table, steam was key. I am no expert but I suspect steam would be bad if it's veneer, or lacquered, or not solid wood. I bet it wouldn't fare well with a microfiber cloth either. No harm in trying it without steam to see if it works... better safe than sorry!
