How to Remove Glass Rings From a Leather-Top Desk
When working at your desk, it is not uncommon to keep a cold drink within arm’s reach. Unfortunately, a sweaty glass left to sit on your leather-top desk can leave an unsightly ring. Condensation causes a sweaty glass. When the air is hotter than the contents of the glass, condensation or moisture will begin to form.
Things You Will Need
- Cloths
- White vinegar
- Sponge
- Towel
The moisture beads up and rolls down the glass landing on the area around the cup. If you do not remove the moisture quickly, it will leave a water ring.
-
Wipe the leather top desk with a dry cloth to remove surface dust, dirt and other debris.
-
Dampen a clean cloth with water. Blot the glass rings with the cloth. Dampen the leather with the water. Allow the desk to air-dry. If the water rings are still visible, continue with the remaining steps.
-
Saturate a sponge in white vinegar. Wring out the excess vinegar so the sponge is damp but not dripping wet.
-
Rub the glass rings with the sponge. Saturate it in the vinegar and wring out the excess liquid when it becomes dry.
-
Continue rubbing the desk until the glass water rings are no longer visible. Wipe the desk with a damp cloth and dry with a towel.
Tip
Rub mayonnaise onto the water rings for several seconds. Allow the mayonnaise to sit on the leather-top desk for two hours. After the allotted time has passed, wipe the mayonnaise off with a damp cloth.
