Cleaning Water Stains

Water stains are probably one of the toughest types of stains to remove. Whether they’re on your couch, your rug or your table, getting rid of them will require some patience and a bit of a rough hand.

Water stains will respond well to acidic ingredients, so look around your kitchen for a fresh lemon, white vinergar and baking soda. You can rub the lemon or spray the vinegar directly on the stain, or you can create a paste with the vinegar and baking soda and apply it on the stain. Whatever option you choose, let the acid stay on the stain for 15-20 minutes before you do anything else.

Now use a cleaning cloth slightly wet with water to remove any excess of paste or liquid. Once the area looks clean, grab a second wet cleaning cloth and rub vigorously. Chemical cleaners might be needed for more stubborn stains, but the process will be the same.
