This method works best on newer stains, so you may not see much change if your water rings have been present for more than a few days. The idea behind this DIY method is that the heat from the iron causes the moisture in the water spot to evaporate.

You’ll need:

  • An iron with the water removed from the inside
  • A clean, dry cotton towel or t-shirt
  • A microfiber cloth
