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.

Lemon Oil
 |
Lemon Oil is recommended for heavier routine cleaning
and dusting. It contains mineral spirits for strong dirt and grime
removal. The fresh lemon smell has made it very popular.
|
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. |
Creme Polish
 |
Crème Polish is best used on glossy finishes such as
lacquer. Made from all natural ingredients with no petroleum products, Crème
Polish contains lanolin to moisturize a lackluster finish. It will provide
a rich shine for weeks and leaves a delightful almond scent. |
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.
