I prefer to use TSP (Trisodium Phosphate, the real stuff, not the "TSP substitute" they sell in home stores) mixed with some hot water to clean up old furniture. It will cut through grime and grease ten times better than any regular dish soap or similar product. You can get a large single bag of the powder for $15 or so and it will basically last a lifetime. You're going to want to avoid any painted surfaces, metal, or glass/ceramics with it though. It won't immediately etch brass or anything that severe, but it could cause some discoloration if left to sit for awhile.

@@inkblue2 Yeah I give it one last wipe with a bit of warm water. TSP can leave surfaces looking kind of dull/flat for some reason, I think partially because it just removes so much gunk, and this final pass seems to help a bit. For anything exceptionally old/dirty, you're going to have to do more than one cleaning pass too.

Hi thank you exactly what I was looking for. I purchased a 1970's Henderson server that has some top damage some little chips and water damage. My question is should I lightly sand top and restrain? I tried restore in a test area on a corner, and it improved but not as much as I woul've liked. I plan to use restore and the bee wax on the rest. Appreciate your advice.

Hello! Thanks for watching our channel. I wouldn't suggest much abrasion on anything that is laminated or veneer. If it's solid wood, you can strip and restain all you want. The best option for veneer is a good wax. It can be professionally restored, but that's expensive process. Thanks again!

"Lucratively?" How about "liberally," maybe? Also, once you've applied this stuff, you can't apply any kind of alkyd or water-based finish--at least not without doing a lot of work to remove the wax. Which is fine, as long as you're OK with a wax finish.
