Question
Hi. My housekeeper used Endust to clean our mahogany inlay bordered table and now it has dull waxy streaks all over it. Any suggestions how to remove this residue without having to refinish it?

Answer
Hi,

You could try some very fine steel wool. You can get it at a local hardware store. I would use "triple zero" steel wool. Also try using it by itself first, and then use it with a furniture oil/conditioner. Do not use anything with wax in it on your natural wood.

Good luck!
