How to keep your wooden wardrobes clean:

How to get rid of water stains?

When you place a hot or cold cup on your wooden furniture, it tends to leave a ring mark on it. That one ring can spoil the look of your entire furniture. There is an easy way to get rid of this stain. Just put some toothpaste (non-gel) on the stain and rub over the area with a soft piece of cloth. If the stain refuses to leave, then mix a small portion of baking soda with an equal portion of non-gel toothpaste. Now spread the paste over the stubborn stain and then wipe it off with a damp piece of cloth. Your furniture will look as good as a new piece.
