QUESTION FROM Linda

my wood kitchen table has developed white cloudy spots and I am not sure why. However, somewhere I remember hearing of a home solution to these. I think it involved making a paste to rub on it but I can't find anything about it. Can you help?

ANSWER FROM HOME-WIZARD

Dear Linda:

If the white cloudy spots that you are seeing on your wooden kitchen table has been caused by hot items being placed on it, then here is a webpage that describes how to use a steam iron to removed these white spots:

Please note, we have not actually tried this technique ourselves, so we can't verify that it truly works. My advice is to be very careful, and if possible, to test it on an area that you could potentially cover with a centerpiece, for example.

Hope this is helpful.
