Cleaning furniture | Mussey Associates
http://musseyassociates.com/2014/10/21/cleaning-furniture
One of the most often asked question is what should I use to clean my furniture? The answer is can be complicated, since it can depend on what you are cleaning off, how the piece of furniture is finished, and what condition the finish is in now. Some kinds of furniture are left unfinished, like teak, to develop a gray color. However, most furniture is given a durable finish to improve its appearance and provide a level of protection for the wood and can be safely cleaned. Of Historic and Artistic Works.
