<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 10618293, member: 37"]Cleaning can be done with just a damp cloth with a solution of Murphy's Oil Soap and water or, if really dirty with wax build-up, some mineral spirits. Once clean, a good coat of paste wax should do the trick. Haven't used Renaissance (probably fine) but Minwax also makes a good one. My go-to was always Johnson's but they no longer make it. I still have a half a can so am not desparate for a substitute yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>This looks more like walnut than oak in this picture but hard to tell for sure.
