How to remove water rings from wood with a hairdryer

Here’s the exact step-by-step process my sister taught me:

  1. Prepare the area
    Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or crumbs. You want the wood clean so nothing gets baked into the finish.
  2. Grab a hairdryer
    Any regular hairdryer will do. Plug it in and set it to a medium heat setting – you don’t need maximum power.
  3. Apply heat to the ring
    Hold the hairdryer about 2 inches (5 cm) away from the water ring.
    Move it slowly back and forth over the mark, keeping it in constant motion so the heat doesn’t concentrate in one spot.
  4. Watch the ring fade
    Within a couple of minutes, you’ll start to see the cloudy mark lighten… then disappear. Keep going until the ring is completely gone.
  5. Let it cool, then polish
    Once the mark is gone, let the wood cool down. Then finish by applying a bit of wood polish or furniture oil to restore shine and add a bit of protection.
