Question
I had a flannel-like pad on my table and when I went to take it off, the top is all fuzzy.  What can I use to clean and remove this so as to return my table top to it's fine finish?

Thank you!

Answer
Try using a nice soft cloth with a furniture oil/conditioner that is made for the type of wood that you have.

If still fuzzy, you can try using a very fine, "triple zero" steel wool. Use it with the grain and very gently try rubbing away the fuzz. You can also try using the oil/steel wool together.

Hope this helps.
