Furniture Care
 There
are many products on the market available for furniture care. To
maintain the finish, clean the surface with a damp washcloth and wipe dry.
Cleaners such as Pledge and Murphy’s Oil Soap are not
recommended because they leave a dull residue on the finish. Also, you should
never use products containing ammonia on water base finishes. Polishes
such as lemon oil or orange oil work well for routine maintenance. The following
are some tips on the different types of polishes.
Orange Oil
 |
Orange Oil is by far the most
popular. It can be used on any finish and does a superb job of
removing everyday dirt and dust. It is often compared to lemon oil -
however the big difference is that lemon oil contains mineral
spirits. Orange Oil is all natural, non-combustible and made from
real orange rinds. We love its fresh orange scent.

Butcher Block Oil
 |
Butcher Block Oil is the
preferred method to maintain butcher blocks or any other surface that comes
into contact with food such as salad bowls, cutting boards and wooden
utensils. Our product is made from FDA approved mineral oil
|
Oil and Wax
 |
Oil and Wax has the same citrus base as
orange oil with the addition of natural beeswax. Its recommended use is on
Danish Oil finishes that do not employ a surface sealing finish. The oils
will penetrate into the wood while the wax seals the surface, maintaining a
beautiful, rich luster.
|
Satin Finishing Wax
 |
Satin Finishing Wax (natural or dark) is a
dual-purpose product. It can be used as a polish for rubbing out new
finishes or as a scratch remover for worn surfaces. It works well over both
oil and water based finishes, including Danish Oil. We recommend a wet
sanding process followed by buffing to a soft silky sheen. |
Furniture Cleaner
 |
Furniture Cleaner is our strongest heavy
duty cleaner with a mineral spirits base and is designed for serious
cleaning applications. Apply with a 0000 grade steel wool to remove old
oils, wax and grease from any wood surface. After the surface is clean,
apply General Finish's topcoats or Satin Wax to bring back luster.
