Is there any way, outside of refinishing my furniture tops, to repair the drips from setting bottles of breastmilk on them? I have tried to keep things neat, but between nighttime pumping and feedings, all of my furniture has drops and rings--even the hardwood floor!

What can I do next?

I am not sure what color finish your wood is, but if it is a darker finish you can use Old English furniture polish. It works so good-we have darker wood and I use it on any little scratch or discoloration and you can even tell there was anything on the table, trim, railing, etc. Even if you have a lighter colored wood I would try to use some type of endust or murphys oil soap. Good luck!

You can try actually rubbing some mayonnaise on them.... or for something more intensive, use a high grit sand paper to remove it till it's gone and then repolyurethane the top.

Try mayo. Sounds crazy but it works on wood. Put a generous helping on the spot and let it sit for several hours if needed longer. My MIL taught me this and it works amazing.

I read in my Woman's World Magazine to rub Crest toothpaste.

Not the gel, the paste to get rid of water rings. it seems like a cheap solution to try. Good Luck!
