I've been Googling how to remove white rings from wood. I've seen to use full fat mayo and also to use a steam iron.
I'm worried about further damaging our tables though.
Anyone have personal experience with this?

I don't have any first hand experience, but I would try whatever treatment in a small, less obvious area first before doing it all over the table.

Good question. I've heard the mayo thing but haven't tried. I also heard about coconut oil.
-
IDK about rings, but I use the Method wood cleaner on our wood and haven't had any issues.
-
I've used the mayo and can confirm that it really does work and doesn't damage the wood!

@Beyond2: thaaaaank you!
-
This is great! I would have replied that you probably need to refinish the entire piece. I need to try mayo!

@Mrs. Polish: we redid an old rocking horse that was all scratched and dinged up and the mayo trick worked on that too! Good luck!

i JUST tried mayo, based on this thread. it made the white ring better, but didn't get rid of it completely. i saw that you can use lemon oil with a very fine-grade steel wool pad and minimal pressue to try to get the moisture out (that's what causes the white marks), but that makes me nervous.

@Mrs. Polish: mayo and the iron doesn't work on my table. I have been using these for years. Works great!
