Hi Saima,

We’ve recently started to sell three blends of wax polish which are specially formulated for oak, mango and mahogany wood. It’s designed to nourish the wood and can be easily buffed to the desired sheen level. Might not completely remove the scratch marks, but it’s worth a shot to protect your furniture from future damage! Take a look at the Dark Wax Polish here.

Sorry we can’t help further, we’ve yet to design a completely moggie-proof range!

All the best

Thanks, mine is stained dark though. I have got some ronseal dark wood repair liquid so am planning on trying that or some touch up pens. It’s certainly not going to keep from getting slight scratches with my two moggies around!

Hi Saima,

The beauty of unsealed solid mango furniture is that it’s easy for a carpenter or French polisher to work with. If you’re feeling confident you could try rubbing back the finish with a very fine-grade sandpaper and re-waxing. However, we would recommend getting a professional woodworker to take a look at it; because it’s easy to work with, the price of repair should hopefully be minimal.

This is assuming you have an unstained mango coffee table rather than one with a dark finish like our Mantis Dark Solid Mango Angled Coffee Table?

All the best.

Hi,
how would you recommend repairing small scratches caused by my cats walking
on one of your mango coffee tables? I have some giant coaster style mats and
they also seem to scratch the table when moved so there are now quite a few.
Once polished with a wax wood polish they look better but I’d like to know
how best to repair it.

Thanks!
