I recently bought a wood dresser which has a sort of rough finish. Whenever I pass over it with a paper towel or a micro fiber rag it tends to grab and pull the material I am wiping with (I'm using Pledge on the rags). There is now paper towel caught in-between the grooves. Can someone recommend a type of material I should buy which won't get caught in the grooves of the wood?

There is nothing wrong with rough surfaces, except that they can be difficult to clean at times. However, the rustic look is very in right now! This includes some things having a rougher finish.
Enjoy your new dresser!
You should sand it down and refinish it. Furniture should not be rough.
Cleaning a rough dresser.
Step 1
A sponge works well on rough surfaces.
Step 2
To get in the cracks use a paint brush.
Step 3
I would have the dresser refinished.
Thanks for the paintbrush idea, that would probably work well...It's actually a brand new dresser and the finish is beautiful.
Thank you,
I would use a lemon oil or an orange oil and I would use a ripped up t-shirt like the other person suggested and just saturate it to saturate the t-shirt and clean it like that another suggestion somebody said lightly sand it I would do that myself honestly before I would go get the orange oil but I like working with wood but I would like to send it down to just soft even layer and then throw a clear over it
