White bedroom furniture
+8
We just purchased a new white bedroom set and it's already showing faint scratch marks on the surfaces or the dresser and nightstand which are difficult to remove. They appear to have been transferred by moving the night lamp and small clock. What could I do to prevent further marks, stains or scratches? Perhaps a non yellowing clear varnish?

Clear scratches too. I would make sure everything that sits on them has non marring bottom padding added. Felt , etc. You can buy all kinds of sizes and shapes of premade stick on felt shapes just for this purpose.

What about a table runner or placemat in a coordinating color, to protect the top of the nightstand?

I'd also put those felt circles on the bottom of the lamp, clock or anything else. The back is sticky.

The last thing you probably want to do after buying furniture (furniture is ex-peeen-sive!), is spend more money but I think having glass cut for the nightstand and dresser tops would be a wise investment, especially since I saw your other post where this furniture is for your teenage granddaughter. More than likely, if she is like any normal teenager, she (or her friends) will be setting glasses down on the furniture without a coaster, spilling makeup, nail polish, polish remover etc. Any of these things could spell disaster for the furniture, even with a protective top coat (which I, personally, would not do because even "non-yellowing" could change the color of the furniture and self-applied is rarely ever as good as factory finishes).

Thanks Connie. I did have them on the lamp feet. We've only had this furniture a few weeks and I'm concerned it's too easy to mar with such little use.

I also from day one have had glass tops made for all tops of my 3 daughters bedroom furniture.........not expensive either. Call a glass business in your area. You'll save the lifetime with all your furniture! :)

Sometimes you can get "used glass" from a glass shop. I did that for my bedroom dresser and worked great. Even new thin glass is not that expensive.
