how do I clean a solid pine table that has been oiled or waxed ?

Question

the table looks patchy and black in crevices.

Answer 1

A product called Murphy's Oil. It works Great!

Answer 2

Clean with a solution of 1 part linseed oil, vinegar & turpintine & a quarter part of methylated spirit. Shake the mixture well each time before using it and apply with a soft cloth

Answer 3

With a blow dryer set on high, blow hot air on it and wipe. This may help to spread the wax and make it more uniform. If it doesnt work and you like your table, maybe you can sand it uniformly and then apply a laquer or simply stain it with a fine wood barnish or stain.

Hope it works for you!!!

Answer 4

if heavily soiled ,paint and greece sand down with fine sand paper until it disappears then re seal the surface, I know of people who use wire wool in stead of sand paper and turps,I think the smell of the turps linger.s and can effect the value also other's use bleach this whitens the wood and the effect is not the same,it's hard work but well worth the time and effort to use the sand paper

Answer 5

Methylated spirit and lint free cloths thats how the motor trade clean wax from cars. Good luck!!

Answer 6

Murphy's oil soap and a kitchen scrubber. I would re-wax it afterward if you want a soft gloss finish.

Answer 7

try concentrated sugar soap.

Answer 8

turps!
