| I recently bought a new dining room table. We weren't quite ready for it when it came in so the furniture store held it and when delivered it was quite dusty. I didn't dust off right away (we just built a house and that was pretty low on the priority list). Anyways, my younger sister "drew" in the dust - smiley face, words etc with her finger. Well, when I dusted off - you can still see these drawings! Not if you look directly down, but when the light hits at a certain angle they are still there. I have tried pledge and old english furniture polish and neither really helped. Does anyone know how to get these marks out!!?? |

| Mix up some salad oil and about a tablespoon of cigar ashes......rub it on the table....wipe with a clean soft cloth, wipe again with lemon oil or Old English....and the marks should be gone. Really.....it's an old remedy and it does work. Linda c |

| Pledge is awful for furniture.... toss the rest away. I have uses ash and oil with good results. |

| Ladies, you're dating yourselves! Where does one get ashes these days? :) Kidding of course--I have heard of this method but it's not really a household item for most! |
