I would like to clean up the dust which accumulated over the years in the cracks of my big wooden table. I was thinking of using a Q-tip and a small hand vacuum, but I am wondering if there is any other way to do this?

I would try an old, dry toothbrush (one that's too worn to use for tooth brushing any longer). I've had good success cleaning small items and things with crevices with an old toothbrush. Just don't brush so hard that you create scratches.

Our cat vomited on our oak end table while we were on vacation. We returned to find the mess thoroughly dried out. We removed all the loose bits, but now the stuck on bits remain. What is the best way to remove the rest without damaging the wood?vomit on table

First try cooking oil. Place an oil soaked cloth over it and keep it well saturated with oil. If after afew days it isn't softer then try a new cloth soaked in bio detergent. You may have to abandon the cloth and just keep soaking the stain uncovered.

Another idea is to use a spray called Koh available online , just google koh. It is genera l use and very good. One use shouldn't harm your table.

I use felt pads on lamps to keep lamp movement from scratching. I notice though that when I change objects or lamps there are sometimes circular rings from the tabs. They will not wax or buff out. How do you remove them?
