Water marks

(Furniture)

Rub with metal polish in direction of the wood grain.

Equal parts of olive oil and salt rubbed gently over the mark with your finger, leave for about two hours then wipe away with a clean dry cloth. Rewax if necessary. (Do not use on valuable pieces as this can scratch). This is suitable for dark wood only as the oil can stain lighter woods.

Antiques are best left to professionals.

(Carpet)

Water soluble stains usually respond to a commercial carpet cleaner like the Scotchgard™ carpet cleaner.
