Hi, I have a wooden table. Probably oak finish. We tried to clean it with Orange oil and it has got some rough patches on it and these patches are white in color. How do I repair that? Do I need to polish the whole surface? Or do I have to use some wax on those surfaces? I do not know anything about caring of wooden furniture.
Thanks in advance

Buy or rent an random orbital sander and get some 220 grit sandpaper. sand the top smooth, wipe with a tack cloth and then refinish with Polyurethane, varnish, shellac or tung oil. I prefer the tung oil for a natural finish. Three coats should give a nice finish. Remember, no matter what finish you apply, do not sit hot or cold drinks directly on the surface.

It sounds like your table had a serious encounter with water or other liquid; this would cause the fibers in the wood to rise (sometimes called "whiskers") and become rough. The white color is also a symptom of moisutre exposure. Since the wood is rough, the table should be resanded, and a new finish applied. good luck

I have the same problem. I am putting off the inevitable. The table is over 100 years old and it is going to cost me a fortune.
Refinish it. Sand it down and recoat the surface is the short answer.
