Restoring Wooden Furniture
If a commercial cleaner/conditioner doesn't do the job, remove the
built-up grime with a mild solution of warm water and liquid detergent.
Use sparingly and work quickly; don't soak the piece of furniture or
pour the solution over it. Water can cause a white haze to appear on a
shellac or lacquer finish, the same haze that appears when a glass
leaves a white ring on a table. When the furniture is clean, rinse off
the detergent with water and then carefully and thoroughly dry the wood
with a soft cloth or a towel.
Let the wood dry completely. If
there's a haze on the finish, you may be able to remove it with steel
wool. Buff the surface lightly, with the grain of the wood, with No.
0000 steel wool. Then apply a commercial cleaner/conditioner and lightly
buff the wood again.
