Ring marks on arhaus mosaic top table

July 17, 2009

Hi,

I just bought an arhaus mosaic table top for $600 from a friend. I find old water marks on it. It is visible only at an angle. I tried the iron method but it did not work as it is old (I guess!). I feel awful about the marks as I cannot ask my friend about this.Please help....

Hi, TJ. Arhaus says the table top mosaic is "Hand-finished with a protective sealer". So you might ask them for advise on repairing or redoing the sealer. Good luck.

Regards,

Emery cloth to polish out, sure it will take awhile, but it will match the rest of the surface.
If not, super fine steel wool or toothpaste to polish out.
Bit rougher, but will take the marks out.
