How do I fix a wood finish that was damaged by the removal of tape?

Question

I recently moved, and while moving we put tape on the dresser to prevent the draws from opening. When I removed the tape, it left white marks on the wood. I need to know how to fix that.

Answer 1

It sounds like the adhesive has come off the tape and remained on the wood. A gentle solvent will remove it. Try eucalyptus oil as it won't harm the timber or the finish.

Answer 2

You can also use window cleaner. To get off the residue.

Answer 3

ditto on the adhesive residue.  I use Goo-Gone or Naphtha for removing it.
