Water rings on outdoor tables can be frustrating, but removing them is easier than you think. Here are simple, effective methods to restore your table's surface:

1. Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with water to form a thick paste. Gently scrub the stained area with a soft cloth, then rinse and dry. This works well for light stains.

2. White Vinegar Solution: Combine equal parts vinegar and olive oil. Apply to the stain, let it sit for 10 minutes, then wipe clean. The vinegar lifts the stain while the oil conditions the wood.

3. Toothpaste Trick: Non-gel toothpaste can act as a mild abrasive. Apply a small amount, rub in circular motions, and wipe clean.

4. Mayonnaise Method: Spread mayonnaise over the stain and let it sit for a few hours. The oils penetrate the wood, lifting the water mark.

For prevention, use coasters or seal your table with a waterproof finish. Regular maintenance keeps your outdoor furniture looking new!
