Hi Maria,
Have the water stains darkened the wood, or left white marks?
A darker stain indicates that the water has penetrated the finish into the wood, which requires stripping and bleaching (a job best left to a professional refinisher). White water marks afflect the furniture finish, and can typically be solved with one treatment of Wood Elixir.
: I have water stains caused by basement flooding on oiled elm wood furniture. How do I remove the water stains.
