White spots on furniture

Question

I need a reliable way to remove white spots from wood furniture. I have tried many different 'ideas',  none were successful.

Janet Pizaro · Answer

Try using mayo or peanut butter. Rub with a soft cloth in a circular motion and leave on long enough to penetrate.

I recently tried WD40 on some water spots on my walnut cedar-lined blanket chest.  Spray it on, let it sit a couple of minutes and buff it off.  Worked like a charm!

Google 'how to remove white stains on furniture with a clothes iron'.  I used that method and the result was pretty good.  Follow instructions exactly.  Your end result depends on how badly the stain is. Mine isn't perfect but it sure looks a lot better than before. :-)

Since you don't mention which methods you've tried, I hesitate to share what actually worked for me. So, sift through Pinterest and see if there's something there you haven't tried yet: https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?rs=ac&len=2&q=remove%20white%20spots%20from%20wood&etslf=8506&eq=remove%20white%20spots%20from%20&0=remove%7Cautocomplete%7C&1=white%7Cautocomplete%7C&2=spots%7Cautocomplete%7C&3=from%7Cautocomplete%7C&4=wood%7Cautocomplete%7C

I've used the teeshirt and iron, I've used the Formby's, Mayo and peanut butter, tooth paste, WD40. And a few others. My husband has died, and it is a table he bought for me when we moved. I just want to make it like it was, thank you. At 52 I should have this trick in my bag, but nothing has worked. I will look at pinterest

Hi there, pour a small amount of olive oil in a bowl, and add about 2 tablespoons of table salt Wrap a small clean cloth around your finger and dip it in in the oil/salt solution and very lightly rub it in a circular motion over the white spots. Let it sit for a few minutes and then take a clean cloth and gently wipe it off. The white spots should disappear.
