We just bought a brand new table. A sweaty cup was left on the table overnight and now there is a ring. Does anyone know how to remove it?

Add more rings and call it "art".

Or burn the entire table. That works for the "needle in a haystack" situation. It's much easier to find a needle in a palm-sized lump of ash than it is a giant haystack.

Maybe that's why my wife doesn't let me decorate...

rivka, did you have that in your bag of tricks or did you Google? I tried a few searches and got nothing.

Google. "Cup ring" was useless; "water ring table" did the trick.

Thanks for your help. I put petroleum jelly on it. It says wait eight hours. I'll let you know in the morning.

Petroleum Jelly seemed to work. At an angle, you can still see where the ring is, but the white haze from the ring is gone. Definately much better than it was.

Thanks.

I wouldn't have thought to use coasters on our dining room table.

The lesson I learned... Buss the table!
