This is a very simple way to eliminate recent water stains from wood surfaces. Vinegar will help extract the stain while the oil will help replenish the wood's oils.
You’ll need:
- Olive Oil
- Vinegar
- Optional: Salt or Baking Soda
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
1Step 1Combine vinegar & olive oil
Pretend you are about to dip some bread at an Italian restaurant. Combine equal parts vinegar and olive oil.
-
2Step 2Apply with cloth
Apply with a cloth by wiping in the direction of the wood grain.
-
3Step 3Add salt
If you need more grit, add some salt to the mixture. Add baking soda to make the solution more powerful.
You can apply a second round of just olive oil or furniture oil after the stain has been removed to keep the wood healthy.
