Pale wood furniture turning yellow
I have some of that lime washed pale coloured furniture from Freedom.
I've had it for about a year and it's starting to go yellow. The coffee table isn't as bad but the TV table is really ugly now. Is there a way I can clean this yellow off, or is it the wood? |

Woods discolor with age and sun exposure, differing by type of wood. Could be the lime wash, too. |

Its probably the wood and finish affected by the sun from non UV reducing glass. It will likely continue to darken, maybe you have a warranty. |

Use a finish with UV protection and it will last longer before it yellows again. This is a natural occurrence with most woods. |
