Yes, you read that right. Many people will tell you that a mayonnaise-based water stain remover is the best thing since sliced bread. The theory that goes along with this DIY method is that the oil in the mayo seeps into the stain and forces the water out.
You’ll need:
- A jar of full-fat mayonnaise
- Paper towels
- A microfiber cloth
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
1Step 1Dab mayo on a paper towel
Dab some mayonnaise on a paper towel and apply this to the stained area. Try to keep away from unaffected parts of the wood as you could harm the finish.
-
2Step 2Let sit for an hour
Let the mayo sit for at least one hour. (You can leave it overnight, but make sure your pets are blocked out of the room.)
Monitor the area and reapply mayonnaise to the stain if it starts to dry out.
-
3Step 3Wipe away any remaining residue
After letting the mayo sit, wipe away any remaining residue from your tabletop.
