How to Remove White Circles From Table Tops

Moisture seeping through the polish or wax layer of a tabletop causes white circles. The source may be the condensation from a cold drink left without a coaster, or steam from the bottom of a hot dish that wasn’t set on a trivet. White circles are a sign that the polish or wax layer of the tabletop is breaking down. The sooner you treat white circles, the easier it is to remove them without resorting to more aggressive approaches.
