How to protect the finish on a dining table?

zooper asked:


I bought a dining table set from Cost Plus World Market 1 year ago. It’s not the most high quality furniture. The wood is stained very dark/almost black. I’ve noticed that when cleaning the table with a damp cloth/paper, the color rubs onto the cloth, etc.

Is there some kind of product I can buy at the hardware store to protect the top of the table, perhaps some kind of do it yourself sealer or something. Or should I use an acual furniture repair place to coat something on the table?

thanks.

    It sounds like it is not sealed correctly. You can buy a sealer at any hardware store and just brush it on like paint. Make sure you do it in good ventilation or take it outside, it will be smelly! Also it will dry best during less humid weather.
