Mine went under water and the experienced person who was to repair and refinish several pieces let his helper do the work and this guy sanded my antiques down too much. That just ruined them as far as I'm concerned. It looks like new furniture. Now it's too late and I'm sorry as hell that I didn't watch them do the work. I still learning the hard way at my age. I'm going to try the equal parts of linseed oil, turpentine and vinegar to clean other furniture that went under water and attempt to redo these pieces myself. Don’t trust anyone with your furniture!

I got sick now 3 years later they are in terrible shape. There is something on them that is maybe a spill it is white looking and then there is a smear. I don't even want to talk about the nicks and scratches and what looks like a water spill that took the finish off. Last but not least one of the home health ladies sat nail polish remover on the side table! I have tried the olive oil and lemon juice but it didn't help. Taking them outside is not an option. They were very expensive and beautiful. Any help with any one of these problems will be much appreciated. They are Vineyard Furniture with intricate wood grain so I would have to have a professional refinish them and that is not an option either. I have a Large heavy coffee table and side table.
