    White marks on mahogany
    I just purchased a mahogany table at an estate sale. It has white marks on the top, probably water marks.
    Does anyone have suggestions for getting them out?
    Thank you!

    I wouldn't try to remove it. I would restain it with mahogany stain for wood. You may need 2 coats. I did that to a stained cedar chest & made it look new.
    Oh yea, wear those gloves cause it stains everything!

    Hi J.A.
    If it's a finished table (lacquered) and they are in fact water stains, I have read that they can be removed with either toothpaste or mayonaise -- though I'm not sure the exact science behind this, and have never personally tried either. Definitely don't use either though if the wood does not have a finish to it.
    Hope this helps. :)
