Not just for sandwiches

So I was doing some cleaning around the house and came across a mark on a piece of furniture. Normally, a mark would be something you could just rub off or use a little soap and water to remove, but not this mark. A guest must have had a glass of something that sweated all over the place and now I have a big ring on the wooden end table. What to do? Old English, Endust, even some stain pens? Nope, mayonnaise. Mayonnaise creates a chemical reaction between the wood and the moisture that is now trapped inside the wood. It will pull the water out and let the wood seal up again. You can use the other items, but after some time (few days to weeks) you will be reapplying over and over. Mayonnaise is the long-lasting answer!
