Cleaning Wood Furniture?


Gold Feedback Medal for All Time! 949 Feedbacks

We have some chairs with wooden arms and these have become dirty from use (dirty hands?). Does anyone know how to clean this black off the arms without removing all of the varnish and stain stain?

Please be careful using any type of oil in a homemade recipe. I made up a recipe using oil (besides other stuff) and it too me weeks and weeks to get the gunk off my furniture! oil seems to attract more dirt than it removes.

If it was my chair, I would just use a regular cleaner like Mr. Clean. A cleaner such as that will not damage the varnish with occasional use. I take it you are simply trying to remove grubby fingerprints and skin oils and such that has built up over time.

Don't be putting any sort of oil on it, that will just add to the gunky buildup.

I have a cleaning service and one of my customers is allergic to everything! The only cleaner she can stand is Windex... you would be surprised what regular old Windex cleans! From stains on your carpets to oil and gunk on furniture, cabinets etc.! I advise trying a small amount on an unseen area!!

I was told to use TSP but haven't tried it yet
