Have you ever had
someone use a piece of paper for a hot pad? The heat will
adhere the paper to your furniture every time! Peel away
as much as you can. Then use a paper towel to spread some
olive oil over the area. Let it sit for about a half hour
and then you should be able to wipe the paper away. 
If your child has
decorated your wood with stickers, peel away what you can
and then spread petroleum jelly over the area. Let it sit
for a few hours and scrape the rest away with a credit
card. Polish to a shine. 
If there is a
lollipop on your table, carefully pull the candy away. Mix
together 1/2 cup of water with one teaspoon of white
vinegar and dab the mixture onto the wood. Rub gently
until all of the stickiness is gone! 
If there is a
dish or glass stuck to your tabletop, don't try to pull it
off or you'll damage the finish. Squirt some baby oil
around the base of the dish and let it sit for a few
minutes. The dish should pull off easily.
