Hi all,
Cleaning my garage, I found a chair that I left there a few years ago and forgot to finish. With the current confinement in France I have a bit of free time and would like to finish this project.
Unfortunately it did not like being in my garage too much and there are a few mold spots on the wood (beech plywood).
Any good suggestions on how to remove those stains? I have tried white vinegar but it did not really help...
Thanks!
I've had trouble with this, too, but have had middling success with a 50/50 solution of water and household laundry bleach. Saturate surface and let sit 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with clean water. I've heard that hydrogen peroxide will sometimes work, though I've not tried it. Best of luck!
Hi, I am new to this forum and since you guys are talking about furniture, I need to know how can I restore my old maple wood table top? It was like I left it in my old furniture storage unit I rented out. But I guess due to the humidity and atmosphere, it got a little bit weak and the edges are a bit soft. Color has also faded out.
PS: I took it out and sent it at my brother's place to keep it so don't have a picture to of it to show here.
Please if there is any solution to it, let me know. Even if they are the basic fixes.
Thanks

@DrPoulet dutch design sellers and restorers use weerwater or ontweringswater wich is 10% oxaalzuur en 90% water (ontwering roughly tranlates as ' get the weather out') in fernch it is called Nettoyant degrisant wich consist off
10% acide oxalique an 90% water it is sold by the brand Starwax for exampe at the store Leroy Merlin
or buy acide oxalique in the pharmacie and disolve 100gram in 1 liter warm water and aply it on the wood wich has to be bare not laquered let in there for 15 minutes and rinse with cold water very intense no cristals should be left or they will apear later
@wesemael. Thanks a lot for the tip. I will try this product! You can also buy oxalyc acid in shops like Leroy Merlin or Castorama, no need to go to the pharmacy (at least in France)
I have used oxalic acid once a few months ago and it works fantastic to brighten wood. If anyone reading this is tempted to try, please make sure you wear adequate protection (gloves and goggles), this thing is nasty! Really.
