Hello Folks, can anyone help out here , how can i remove a waterstain from an oak dining room chair please. Cheers Rosebud.
sorry can't help you Rosebud, but I managed to remove red wine stains (a whole glassfull) from my Mum's cream carpet via google last night! Maybe try there?
Mary I will watch with interest. When decorating my dining room I stupidly put the hot wallpaper steamer on the top of my organ. What a mess!!

LORNA! :o Reminds me of a joke I must put in the watershed! ;D ahem :-[
Hi Mary, when I worked in the furniture trade many years ago ::) I used to love watching our French polisher do her stuff, she was amazing removing scratches and stains from delicate surfaces like burr walnut veneers and they just disappeared. :)
I seem to remember that she used to place a hot iron (no steam irons then) on the water stain with a piece of brown paper between the iron and the wood surface to draw out the moisture (I presume) then lightly sand it and stain, it was a long time ago so please only try this as a last resort. :o ;D
Or you could try this…

::)
;D
Thank you Roy.

Ouch.
So, Mary......problem solved?
I used to make a paste of bi-carb I think & gently work round from the inside of the marking, out? But then I had to re-stain the patch to get the colour right. Used boiled linseed oil + colour, something like that? (future prob. then solved by painting with colourless polyeurothene(sp?).....matt.....life TOO short to bother with spill stains - Lish
