# How to Get Rid of Water Marks on Black Furniture
Water marks develop when you use hard water to clean a piece of furniture. Over time, the hard water will build up and leave behind minerals, such as calcium and potassium. These alkaline stains are quite visible on black furniture. Use a solution to remove the water marks without damaging metal or wood furniture.
