Why is my wood furniture sticky?

• <div><p>Wood furniture gets sticky when dirt and grime accumulate on the surface. Sometimes, wax coatings and oils are the culprit, but other times, it’s a sign that the finish is failing, and no amount of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-wood-furniture.htm">cleaning your wood furniture</a> will help. Varnish and lacquer can both get sticky as they age, and in this case, you’ll need to refinish the wood to stop the issue.</p></div>

Does vinegar remove wood stain?

• <div><p>Vinegar won’t strip the wood stain from your wood, but it can help remove a different type of stain. If you’re dealing with food stains or trying to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-water-stains-wood.htm">remove water rings on your wood</a>, you can use a little olive oil and vinegar (mixed equally) to remove those stains without stripping your actual wood stain.
