I have 3 wonderful wood tables in my living room but they are sticky. I think it is polish build up. How con I get rid of the stickiness and then give them a good polish?

To remove polish build-up, mix 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup water. Rub with a soft cloth that has been moistened with solution but wrung out. Dry immediately with another soft cloth.

This is for polish build-up, and also people that have wood cabinets or paneled kitchens that have accumulated grease over the years.
3 (three) parts linseed oil and 1 (one) part turpentine. Use a 000 (triple zero) fine steel wool and lightly clean it. Wipe with a soft cloth to polish.It takes off everything, and I mean everything. It doesn't damage the finish and also moisturizes the wood. It smells a bit so make sure you have ventilation. Spring time with the windows open is great and it just takes a few hours for the odor to go away. (I HAVE NEVER USED THIS ON A PAINTED SURFACE SO I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WILL DAMAGE PAINT. THIS IS MEANT FOR FINISHED OR UNFINISHED NATURAL WOOD ONLY)
