Mrs Hinch fans share 59p hack for removing water rings from wood furniture

A 59p cleaning hack which removes ring marks from wooden furniture has been shared by fans of domestic guru Mrs Hinch.

The cleaning sensation was at the heart of another hack this week after fans helped one distressed woman who was looking to spruce up her furniture by removing wood ring marks.

The solution has shocked many because it is something you would usually dip your chips into.

The cleaning enthusiast now has over 4.1 million followers on Instagram and Mrs Hinch’s followers and fans were so impressed with her tips, they have even created their own social media groups dedicated to cleaning and tidying tips.

On one of the groups, a user asked fellow Mrs Hinch fans how to remove water ring marks from wooden furniture, according to a Daily Express report.

Facebook user Melissa Amy posted in a group: “Hi all can anyone help? I have put a drink on my nan’s wood side table.

“It was only orange and water in a glass and it has made this stain. What’s the best way to get rid of it please? Thanks.”

The post was inundated with posts from Mrs Hinch fans.

The most common response was to use mayonnaise on the wooden table where the ring mark is.

Elaine O Keeffe Housley commented on the post: “Put mayonnaise on it. Leave it a few hours and wipe off. You might need to repeat it but it does work.”

Amy Huddie said: “Mayo is supposed to lift ring marks.”

Sus McLaren wrote: “Try mayonnaise rubbed in. Leave for a while then buff up. You might need to do it a few times.”

Tanya Johnson agreed. She said: “Mayonnaise. Put lots on and leave overnight.”

Adrienne Perry said: “The bloke from The Repair Shop will suggest mayonnaise. I saw him do it on there.”

Hubbard’s Foodstore Mayonnaise is available to purchase from Sainsbury’s for just 59p.

Other suggestions from cleaning enthusiasts included using olive oil, walnuts and a damp tea towel and a hot iron.

Jodie Marie Saunders said: “Olive oil, I used this on some ring marks I had on my bedside units.”

Alison Dowling agreed. She said: “Mixture of olive oil and lemon juice. Rub gently with a cloth.”

Meanwhile, Jayne Painter said: “I did my table this week. Get a tea towel and your iron and just keep ironing it. Trust me, it works.”

Ann Middleton commented: “Rub with walnuts. The oil in them reacts and should remove [the ring].”
