When someone forgets the coaster, you still have options.
Before you use any water stain removal methods, test it out on an inconspicuous spot first.

Check the stain every 15 seconds if you’re ironing to see how you’re progressing.
It will take several minutes of blow drying to see an impact.
Apply an oil-based solution, such as mineral oil, cooking oil, or (yep!)
mayonnaise
You may have heard that oil and water don’t mix.
Let it sit overnight, then buff the area to remove any excess oil.
Apply baking soda mixed with just enough water to make a paste.
(You don’t want to add more water to a water stain!)
Use the powdered version, and minimize the amount you use.
