<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Heartwood, post: 10617873, member: 94448&quot;]Hello all --</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]531929[/ATTACH] </p><p>I&#039;ve inherited some family furniture, some of which is in need of attention.&nbsp; Some things obviously need to see a professional (suggestions in the southern Indiana and Louisville KY area welcome.)&nbsp; But for things like the antique shelf shown, that are just dirty, dry, and occasionally showing suspicions of mildew, what does the community recommend for safe cleaning?&nbsp; Per family notes this is english, mostly oak, and likely early nineteenth century.&nbsp; I see signs of old repair, plus about 75 years on the same wall.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are there common errors I can dodge in advance?&nbsp; And more specifically, is there any reason I should not use a microcrystalline furniture wax like Renaissance?&nbsp; Thanks in advance for comments and suggestions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
