Liberon Ring Remover

Those pesky white rings appear everywhere! Hazy marks can occur in certain finishes within 15 minutes! What's happening is that moisture or humidity is getting trapped within the hard finish layer. (If a black mark appears it has penetrated through the finish onto the wood, and a wood bleach will be necessary.) Ring Remover removes white colored heat and water marks on many hard surfaces, including varnishes, shellacs, lacquer, French polish, and polyurethane.

One of Liberon's top selling repair products! Easy to apply! Use a clean lint-free cotton cloth and rub in a circular motion over the mark. Allow to dry to powder before buffing with a soft cloth. For waxed surfaces, first remove the wax with a good cleaner or mineral spirits, then apply Ring Remover. Follow the directions on the bottle, then re-wax the surface with paste wax. After buffing, if the repaired spot is a bit shiny, take a dry Liberon 4/0 steel wool pad to break the shine back down to a matte finish.

1) Submitted by Rick Conrad, from Auburn, IN on 2/19/2011 Customer Rating: This did the trick for a large heat induced hazy spot in our dining room table. Does take some time and elbow grease but is well worth the effort. Try this first before you think of refinishing.

2) Submitted by Linda Bass, from Garden Valley, ID on 1/28/2010 Customer Rating: I had about 8 stubborn rings on a pine counter top from where I had set hot jam jars -- took a couple tries, then went for the 0000 steel wool (like the product suggested) -- rings are GONE!! Saves me the whole refinishing mess. I'm on a roll now -- going after a large spot on my cherry floors where the Christmas tree holder overflowed, a walnut side table with a huge condensation spot, and even my pine cupboard doors where the coffeemaker steamed up a white spot. Fantastic results!

3) Submitted by Alicia Filley, from Houston, TX on 5/29/2009 Customer Rating: Got rid of a huge hazy white area on my table and some paint that had spilled on the table too! Had to get quite liberal with the amount of product and rub vigorously, but after 3 applications, it was gone!! Yea!!

4) Submitted by J Goudreault, from Millerton, NY on 4/20/2009 Customer Rating: Easy to use. Worked great.

5) Submitted by Robert E. Rich, from Granbury, TX on 4/1/2009 Customer Rating: We attempted various methods of removing three white areas from the top of our hard maple finished kitchen table. Nothing worked until your product. We consider it to be excellent.

6) Submitted by John Boyle, from Punta Gorda, FL on 2/18/2009 Customer Rating: We thought we were goners when we inadvertently white ring marked a brand new teak dining room table. However, the ring remover did the job. There is a resultant gloss, I must add, on the surface where I had to apply some elbow grease when viewed from an angle. Knowing this in the future I would have confined my rubbing directly to the damaged spot. All-in-all we are delighted with the results. Punta Gorda Jack

7) Submitted by Jim, from Richmond, MA on 9/23/2008 Customer Rating: I tried the home remedys - WD40 and then mayonnaise which both helped but did not remove the white spot. Finally ordered the Liberon product and it worked great!

8) Submitted by D Sudweeks, from Lehi, UT on 7/5/2008 Customer Rating: I was amazed at how this product removed a 3-year old ring on a coffee table left by a carpet cleaning product. You can't even see a trace of it now! Thanks for providing such an effective product.

9) Submitted by Heidi Watson, from Richmond, VA on 3/10/2008 Customer Rating: I didn't just have a white ring--I had a 4" white circle--on my antique buffet. After reading the success from the other reviews, I thought I'd try it. It took some serious elbow grease but it removed the spot without damaging the finish. I couldn't have been more relieved! I'd absolutely recommend this product.

10) Submitted by Faith Hoffman, from Hackettstown, NJ on 7/5/2008 Customer Rating: I used product as indicated. First I tested in out on the wood beneath the tabletop. Then I applied it to the white rings on top of the table. It certainly helped take the white rings away, but it did leave that area alot more "shiny" than the rest of the table. I figure in time it will dull somewhat and blend in! Overall, I was satisfied with the outcome.

11) Submitted by Jan A. Bradley, from Lubbock, TX on 2/4/2008 Customer Rating: We hosted a meeting in our home and I had laid several folded layers of a table cloth on our dining room table. We placed about 10 hot pizza boxes on the table cloth and the heat/moisture went through the table cloth and made huge white clouds on our table. I was sick and knew they would probably be there forever,unless I refinished the entire table top. I ordered this product with hope, and to my husband's and my surprise every bit of the white clouds were removed and our table looked like new again! I told my brother and he ordered your product, too! The ring remover is amazing!!!

12) Submitted by Cynthia Sadler, from Collierville, TN on 1/22/2008 Customer Rating: We had a dinner party and guests set hot plates down on our antique dining table. It has been in my husband's family for years and I figured it was ruined. Ordered the Liberon Ring Remover and was skeptical, but had nothing to lose. I applied it to the 4 white rings and they completely disappeared. This product is amazing and will definitely recommend it to everyone! Thank you so much!

13) Submitted by Pat Russell, from Duncan, OK on 1/10/2008 Customer Rating: Had white rings on an antique dining table after Thanksgiving dinner. Went on line to research what to use to remove it. Found the Rockler site. The Liberon Ring Remover worked exactly as promised. Removed all evidence of rings and did not hurt the finish in any way. Would definitely recommend this product to remove water marks.

14) Submitted by Bud Heiman, from Richland, WA on 1/1/2008 Customer Rating: We recently purchased an antique mahogany dining table. A slightly wet cloth was laid on the table for about 30 minutes. When it was removed, we noticed a faded white spot about 3" in diameter. I went on line and found the information on the Rockler white spot remover. It worked. I was very pleased. It removed the spot.

15) Submitted by C Reese, from Massillon, OH on 12/10/2007 Customer Rating: On Thanksgiving my husband set the hot turkey on our almost new dining table. After we cleared everything up we saw that there was a large white cloudy spot on the finish. Got online and while looking up solutions found your website and the ring remover. We ordered it right away and it arrived within days. After about half an hour of rubbing the white spot was completely removed. We couldn't believe our eyes, we thought that the whole top would have to be refinished. A great product to have on hand.

16) Submitted by Ellie, from Boulder, CO on 11/24/2007 Customer Rating: A pizza box plus hot cup left a few white marks on my table, just below the lacquer finish. I used the Liberon Ring Remover several months after the white marks were made, and it worked to remove most of the discoloration. I'm very happy with the product but use it carefully - it's very strong and you should test your finish before applying. We have one area that has some swirling in the wood grain, but it looks much better than the white heat marks.

17) Submitted by Sheila, from Lincoln, RI on 11/21/2007 Customer Rating: I tried this product on a cherry hutch/buffet that had several rings and cloudy areas. It did not work at all. This damage was done a year or more ago; perhaps it works better on newly damaged wood.

18) Submitted by Timothy J. Hughes, from Fairport, NY on 9/26/2007 Customer Rating: Setting a hot pizza box on the polished surface of dining room table was not a good idea, even though the finish was "protected" by a towel spread under the box. The heat created a large, milky-white splotch under the table's finish. Ring remover cleaned up this defect. It worked perfectly.

19) Submitted by Rick Thompson, from Pittsburgh, PA on 7/3/2007 Customer Rating: I recently purchased a beautiful, antique mahogany desk to go in the study of my new apartment. It was quite a lucky find. After placing my hot tea upon the desk (I thought a folded towel beneath the cup would be enough protection), I was horrified when a white ring appeared beneath it! I have had antique furniture before but never had I seen that happen. Frustrated at myself, I thought I had ruined the desk and, thinking I would have to sand down and refinish it, I went online to search for guidance. I stumbled across the Liberon Ring Remover in the process and my fears were put to rest! After ordering the product, I followed the instructions and within minutes the white ring was gone. One would never guess it had ever been there. This product saved me a lot of grief and potentially a lot of work!

20) Submitted by Ken, from Sparta, GA on 10/16/2007 Customer Rating: We covered our dining table with a folded sheet and set figures from our collectables cabinet on it while we painted the wall. The windows were open and thus humidity was drawn into the house. Rings that were made on the table were not removed at all by this product after many applications and rubbing.

21) Submitted by P, from Montgomery County, MD on 11/5/2008 Customer Rating: I bought this product in an attempt to remove white spots from my teakwood table, which were left when casserole dish tops were left during dinner. Unfortunately, this product didn't do well. At first, the rings appeared to dissipate, but they reappeared.

22) Submitted by S. A., from Quincy, IN on 3/11/2009 Customer Rating: I was very dissappointed. It did not work at all. I rubbed it into the table for about 1 hour and finally gave up.

23) Submitted by Mike Brabec, from Ann Arbor, MI on 4/7/2008 Customer Rating: Did a marvelous job of cleaning up slight scratches and discoloration on an antique dining set, est. 90 yrs. old. Did not remove a faint water stain. Also works great to freshen and restore a checkered varnish on an antique Arts and Crafts desk. Removed paint from an antique mahoghany bed set that had been scrapped onto the surface during a moving mis-adventure. Super stuff. Can we buy it in larger amounts? Editor's note: Larger container size is not available.
