sticky oak kitchen table

Anyone know what to  use to clean my oak kitchen table?   Always feels  STICKY even after washing with soap and water. Any  products recommended ? Something that won't  ruin the finish. Smells like onions as well because my husband always cuts on it!  TIA

Re: sticky oak kitchen table

  • My mom's is like that, What it is is the laquer is scraping and peeling off and whats left on the table is gummy.

     The only way to fix it is to sand it down and refinish it. You might want to tell your husband to use a cutting board to keep from cutting up the new finish. . . .

  • I'd definitely try refinishing it.  In the meantime you try using Citrasolv to clean it.  It's an orange oil cleaner that will remove sticky residue without damaging wood.  I use it on my hardwood floors when I have to get up sticky messes.
  • I have this same problem, thanks for posting this.
