Cleaning wood tables reveals the beauty of the wood and protects the surface from day-to-day use. Select products made for cleaning wood, rather than multi-purpose products, for the best results. Make sure that the products you choose are alcohol-free to protect the finish. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Choose a wood soap that's oil-based to thoroughly clean the table. If your wood tables have been stored for any length of time, you may need to wash it with an oil-based cleanser several times to remove the accumulated grime.
2. Scrub the wood oil soap with a cotton cloth like a cloth diaper.
3. Fill any dents or scratches using shoe polish that's similar in color to the finish on your wood tables.
4. Polish your wood tables frequently with a polish made from lemon oil. For most wood tables, you can polish weekly; for tables that see high use, like dining tables and coffee tables, you'll need to polish more often.
5. Hire a professional to buff and polish your wood tables annually.
