Wooden table
Waxing your dining-room table on a regular basis keeps it looking its best. Over time, wax can build up and dull your table's finish. Trying to apply more wax will just make the situation worse. The excess wax needs to be removed from your dining-room table. Removing the buildup will allow your waxing product to once again work and bring your table to its intended shine.
Instructions
1. Wipe down your dining-room table to clean it of all dirt and debris that is resting on the surface.
2. Open your windows if possible. You will be using mineral spirits, and want to work in a well-ventilated area. Put on gloves.
3. Dampen your cloth with a generous amount of mineral spirits. Rub in the mineral spirits along the grain of the table to remove the wax buildup. Allow the mineral spirits to dry.
4. Buff the table with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove any residue. Touch up with more odorless mineral spirits if needed.
5. Apply a paste wax to your dining-room table with a lint-free cloth, in a circular motion. Paste wax will hide any small scratches and works to repel dust. Wait 15 minutes, then use another cloth to buff the top of your dining-room table to a high shine.
