<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 4469733, member: 738"]I love the green and the way it's been patinated! As-is, this piece tells a charming story. I would use a very soft brush to dust and gently vacuum the piece. Then sparingly wipe the bare wood portions with a solution of Murphy's Oil Soap to remove the mold and the worst of the grime. If the green is water-soluble, leave it be or you will have a smeary mess. Let dry and use a good furniture wax coat over the stable portions of the finish and tin. I would also remove the two horizontal repairs. It would look right at home on your covered porch![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
