how do i clean a table that had a plastic table cloth and stuck to table when removed?

Question

when we pulled up old table cloth it left what looked like little pieces of cotton glued to table.

Answer 1

Mineral Spirits is cheap, and works great on removing adhesives! Goo-gone is good, unless you have a wood table. Goo-gone damages wood and some plastics. Also, do not use an abrasive cleaner if your table is wood.

Answer 2

I had that happen one time too. I just mixed up some hot soapy water and a mild cleaner in the sink and used a dish rag to wipe it away. It didnt just wipe off in one swipe, had to work at it but it did work. Assuming this is a hardwood table, be careful what you use, you might take off the finish, if unsure, test a small area underneath. Also, i used furniture polish right after to recondition the wood.

Answer 3

Try Goo-gone or the Mr. Clean Magic eraser. Should work like a charm.

Answer 4

Try using a little bit of tea-tree oil on a damp rag and rubbing affected spots, also works great on stickers on bed posts, walls, doors etc.
