My husband cleaned our nice wooden table with Pine-Sol? Now it has white streaks everywhere and looks very dull and ruined. Any ideas on how to remove these? Thanks.

This sounds crazy, but try mayonnaise. I was manager for a cleaning company and a client asked me if I could fix his table. Said been that way long time. It was either watermarks or from heat. Rub in mayonnaise then take a clean soft cloth and clean it until the greasiness is gone. I found this tip in a magazine. Works beautifully!
I tried the mayo and it worked. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Depends on wood type: for walnut/oak/cherry:(most hardwoods)
1)Buy cheese cloth rag that you would use for pickling spices.
2) Buy un shelled walnuts
Sprayed Lysol accidentally on my bathroom drawer. You should try Orange glow it seemed to work I will check it tomarrow. But looks a whole lot better NOW.
I have so much damagedd pieces from hurricane season, i could try this mayonaise one, a coffee one from someone else and wondering if youd herd of anymore since im trying it all ?
Hi this is 2023 and I just found this.I had forgotten all about this trick and will be trying it this afternoon. 1930 era china cabinet was jout in my shed until I could work on it. Moved it to my house yesterday and noticed a water spot on top that I am sure just got there a week ago when the shed was pressure washed.
Old English makes a wonderful scratch cover. I'm not sure if it comes in a light color, because I prefer the dark color. It "feeds" the wood and makes scratches disappear. I'd try it on the problem you have. I just love this product as it makes furniture look like NEW. It seems expensive, but I have had one bottle for about 30 years. It goes a long way. Be careful as it stains your clothing, carpets, etc. I let it set for awhile after I apply it so it can soak in. Then, I wipe it off.
In the future, tell your husband to use Murphy's Oil Soap which is made for washing wood. But as a rule, wood and water don't mix. lol Good luck
I don't think is the water as much as the quality of the wood. Real wood is almost fool proof, (except fire), but any other "modern" cocktail wood forget it.
The streaks are probably either furniture wax disSOLved (the "SOL" in Pine-Sol), or water damage.
I would try a furniture polish, such as Old English, as mentioned by Carol. Mayo, composed mostly of oil, may also work. Good luck!
