Use a brass or silver cleaning product to wipe away the mark,then apply a soft wax.

I know it sounds strange, but try taking a small dab of mayonnaise on a soft cloth and rub it in. I used this on my sewing machine cabinet that had a water ring from a glass or soda bottle. It was there for a long time as it was a second hand machine. It worked for awhile and months later I used the mayo trick again. Still look almost good as new.

P.S. This mayo trick works of house plants leaves too, cleans and gives them a nice shine. ( DO NOT use it on African Violets ) Great Granny Vi

I've read that putting baking soda on water stains will draw out the moisture and get rid of it but I've never tried it.

Yes, put a piece of wax paper on it and iron it. Put the iron on low setting (04/07/2006)
