Precautions

How to remove a water stain from a wooden table.

- First test on an inconspicuous part of your furniture. To do this, dampen a cloth with your cleaning solution. And run it over the wood. If no problem appears, then you can treat the wood with this mixture.

- Do not wet your cloth too much. Otherwise too much water could seep into the wood and damage it. Just moisten it to have an effective action. If the cloth is too wet, wring it out thoroughly.

- Always dilute white vinegar before using it on wood. Otherwise, it can leave traces and the acidity can damage the wood.

- No need to overdo your wood lotion. You only need a little bit.

- Do not use this solution on painted wood. The acidity of white vinegar can damage wood finishes.

- If your furniture is old, consult a specialist before starting.
