How do you remove accumulations of old polish? First take a soft cotton cloth lightly dampened with a mild solution of water and a soap such as Murphy’s Oil Soap. Thoroughly wring the cloth, minimize wetting of the finish, and dry the surface immediately by wiping with a completely dry cloth.

Test a small area first to make sure the washing does not cause white marks or softening of an older finish. If stronger cleaning appears to be necessary, ask your technician for a suggestion.
