How to remove a white hazy ring on my wooden coffee table. Help!?

Question

I had a hot bowl of soup which I want to place on my coffee table. As i fear that the heat will damage the surface, I placed a moist piece of cloth on the table and then the hot bowl of soup over it. After I removed the items, to my horror, there was a white hazy ring on it. What could have caused it? Is this what they call a water spot? Was it caused by the heat from the bowl, or something from the cloth, or both? And most important, how do I remove the white ring? Appreciate anyone could help. The favour would be returned.

Answer 1

repeatedly make rings everywhere. make it look like it was supposed to be like that then you'll get compliments on your exquisite taste in furniture

Answer 2

Try the Magic Eraser from Mr. Clean or a wood darkner for stains and scratches like Old English Wood Oil. Good Luck

Answer 3

It was caused by the moist cloth, anytime you leave anything wet on a wood surface, it will do this. Use some furniture oil. The ring should fade over time.

Answer 4

put a towel down and use a hot Iron to the towel to remove the stain.
