Light Oak

Interest-Ed

I've a light oak wood veneer table (danish style) which is about 15 years old and although still good is badly marked with cup rings and take-away curry (not me!!) stains. Mostly leaving white marks in the veneer.

Has anyone any suggestions for bringing it back to its former glory so it can come out from hiding from under it's table cloth?????? :rolleyes:

Many thanks

RE: Removing Drink Rings From Furniture

Keep it simple, quick and clean... It may sound counter-intuitive but, just use a hot iron on dry heat and a dishtowel. Place a soft cotton dishtowel over the area of the tabletop containing the heat ring(s) and apply the iron to the towel surface, moving the iron over the affected area. With sufficent heat, in about 20-30 seconds, the rings will disappear like magic! Gets rid of the accidental grey coffee mug rings from my cherry dining table (that even form through the tablecloth) every time!

Well, thank you both for your replies. I hadn't realised the subject had been discussed so recently. I'll give it a try later and see how I go.

I've always been a bit nervous of trying anything too drastic with the table top because its veneer and not solid wood but as it's now no longer a thing of great beauty it can only be an improvement.

Thanks

A gentle polish with Brasso (Its slightly abrasive) usually removes "rings" and scratches as long as they are not too deep
