Rings on dining table...
I have recently bought an old Parker double extension dining table, and the teak tabletop has a couple of prominent water stains from glasses or cups.
Any suggestions on removing them, to be done as part of a general refinishing of the table, for which I would also appreciate some advice on the best way of going about tarting it up. Other than the rings, it seems in good condition, but looks pretty dull and lifeless at the moment.
Any advice as to what to use, how to use it, and where to get it, would be appreciated.
(Tried search, and got nothing, which surprised me...)

Hiya,
My suggestions:
1. Sand away the finish that is there, go gently at it, i.e. make sure it is solid and not veneered. If it's veneered, you'll need to be very gentle sanding down the table.
Or
2. Instead of sanding, give it a light clean when a slightly water-damp cloth to get rid of the grime. Then a polisher reviver might be the next best thing to use.
A little hard to say, without pictures, but hopefully the second option will give you what you want.
and lastly, whatever option, always try out the products on a test piece, or for the table, somewhere inconspicuous first.
cheers

Try a search in the forum. It may be a simple fix like spraying hair spray on it. Good luck with it.

My option would be to get some 0000 steelwool and some SIFA furniture oil or similar and give it a light polish. This removes all the grime and dull spots and puts some oil back into it. Try it on an out of the way spot first to make sure you are happy with the result.

PS. the rings can sometimes be taken out by placeing a few layers paper down and then going over with a warm iron.

Thanks all for the replies.
Yes, it is veneer, which makes me nervous when sanding/rubbing is involved.
Chesand - OK, I'll bite, which sponsor, which product?
I will try the iron and paper trick first, that seems a low risk option.
Thanks again for your quick replies

Stop,
The Iron and paper trick is for raw timber stained with oil, dont put a warm iron on any sort of finish unless you know what your doing.
try just rubbing the rings hard enough to generate heat with a bit of olive oil on a rag, this works sometimes

What Astrid said. A paste of fine cigarette ash can also do the trick if the rings are solely in the finish, although it's apparently socially incorrect to actually have any conveniently lying to hand.

Yep
Ubeaut polish reviver is one of the best on the market. I sold it for many years in my business and had very positive feedback from all of my customers who tried it.

stains on teak wood
We had some black stains on some solid teak garden furniture and we used a special low strength oxylic acid recommended by a carpenter which worked very well. But I would be careful with veneered wood.
