A lined/plastic table cloth back is stuck to an antique table. I don't want to re-finish it. I just want to take off the fuzzy stuff left behind. Warm water did not work.

I have cleaned an antique chair that had years of build up on the arms from dirt and oils. I sprayed a pure bees wax polish on it and let it set for about 1 minutes. I sprayed it really heavy. Then wiped and wiped with a soft cloth. It was amazing. Good luck.
I had the same problem and tried many things including "goo gone", spray cleaners, warm water. Nothing really did the trick. The flannel is gone but there is still a white cast of fuzz on my dining room table. Good luck.
Someone above just said bees wax polish worked.
I was looking for something a little safer but none of these sound like they work, nail polish remover, ventilation please, test your wood. Follow safety procedures
The pure beeswax only worked on a buildup of dirt and oil, not removing the fluffy cotton stuck to a table. I also tried googling, olive oil and plain warm water to no avail.
Did you get an answer that worked for removing the white cotton left on your table. I have the same problem and can not find anything to remove it. I need help!
I did the same thing with a flannel backed table cloth
. It is a VERY old table and I want to do as little damage (other than what I have all ready done) as possible to remove the fuzz. I tried soaking it with Old English but that has not worked.
WOW!! Connie I laughed at your response, Bit it actually really worked.... Thanks
I have the same problem with sticky backing stuck to my maple
drop table. I real Lourdes 12/22/15 reply saying she laughed at
Connie's response but it actually worked. Can I find out what it
I soaked my table with Lysol cleaning spray and let it sit for a while. Then I scraped it with a metal spatula. Warning. ... you need patience for this!
I have tried Murphy;s oil soap but never WD40 seems to me
that. would ruin the finish
I tried everything! Then I had the idea to try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser! Bingo!!! Takes some "Elbow Grease" but there are no chemicals to harm the wood!!
I tried the Mr Clean Magic Eraser. Most of it is gone, but my wood is damaged.
So magic eraser is the best solution to get the fuzz of dining room table from tablecloth? Why does that happen?
Mine is "melted" into the wood by a tea candle... Any suggestions??
Rub ice cube over the wax
Put a paper bag over it and use an clothes iron. Start at lower heat and gradually get hotter til it comes off.
I used very fine steel wool (0000) and motor oil. It worked the best of all things I tried
