🪑 When It’s More Than a Ring
If all these tricks fail and the stain remains:
✔ The finish may be worn down or damaged.
✔ Deep stains might require light sanding and refinishing by a professional or DIY restaining.
📌 Summary of Best Methods
| Method | Works On | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Heat (hair dryer) | Fresh, white rings | Fast (minutes) |
| Mayonnaise / Vaseline | White/medium rings | Hours |
| Baking soda paste | Light stains | Minutes |
| Toothpaste | Surface rings | Minutes |
| Vinegar + oil | Light discoloration | Minutes |
🌟 Final Tip
Try the least invasive method first (heat or mayo) — these often resolve the problem without effort and without damaging the wood finish. Only escalate to abrasive techniques or refinishing if nothing else works.
