Accidents and mishaps happen and when they happen to our wood furniture we want to know how to correct it as quickly as possible. Sometimes, the quickness is out of our hands, especially when there are little ones involved. Take decals and stickers for example. Kids are notorious for sticking stickers on walls and furniture. To them they are only decorating, but to us, if found after the glue has dried can make us cringe. To remove old decals stuck on wood furniture simply paint them with white vinegar. Apply several coats and give it time to soak in good. Once it has been thoroughly saturated, you should be able to gently scratch it off with a fingernail.
With stickers comes paper, which can also become stuck to your wood furniture. Do not attempt to scrape it off with a knife. Instead, just pour some salad oil, a few drops at a time, on to the paper. Allow it to sit for a while and then just rub off with a soft cloth.
How about white water rings and spots? Simple. Just dampen a soft cloth with water and put a dab of toothpaste on it. For stubborn stains add baking soda to the toothpaste and then simply buff away the stain. If that doesn’t do the trick, try a paste of butter or mayonnaise with cigarette ashes, apply it to the spot and then buff away the stain with a slightly damp cloth and polish as usual.
Did someone bump the candle you sitting lit on your coffee table and spill wax? No worries. Pull out the hair dryer and soften the wax. Remove the wax with a paper towel as softening until no traces are left. Then wash down with a solution of vinegar and water. Dry thoroughly and polish as normal.

I really like the open look of these tables. I think it gives the room the illusion of looking larger than it is. A cabinet type end table makes a room look crowded.
ReplyDeleteYou must have heard me cry when I discovered that my grandson had put the sticker he got at the doctors office on my new coffee table. I swear they must use super glue on the back of those things. Using a paring knife crossed my mind but I decided against that. I knew I'd find someway to get it up but using salad oil surprised me. It worked too. You guys are the best!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any problems at the moment, but whenever I find tips like yours I copy them off so I'll have them when I need them. I didn't say if because I have 7 grandkids who are getting to the crayon and pencil age. I know there are accidents waiting to happen and I want to be prepared.
ReplyDeleteCandle wax spilled on my coffee table almost ruined a friendship. I'm glad I found your hint on removing it. The coffee table was new and it was a careless accident. I've since moved the candle. Thanks for this valuable tip.
