- Mild detergent or wood cleaner
- Warm water
- Soft cloth or sponge
- Microfiber cloth or towel
- Furniture wax or polish (optional)
Steps:
- Prepare the Cleaning Solution: Mix a small amount of mild detergent or wood cleaner with warm water. Be sure not to make the solution too strong.
- Test a Small Area: Before applying the cleaning solution to the entire wooden surface, test it on a small, inconspicuous area of the table to ensure that it doesn’t damage or discolor the wood.
- Clean the Surface: Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the cleaning solution and gently wipe the wooden surface in the direction of the wood grain. Avoid using excessive water, as it can damage wood. You want the cloth or sponge to be damp, not soaking wet.
