Question?

How can I remove a perfume stain out of my wood table. Also do you have something to remove water stains off my black coffee table?

This formula is for water-stained wood furniture, but it should work for perfume. But, not knowing the exact makeup of your black furniture, you might want to test a hidden area to see if the black finish is negatively affected.
