How do I clean the finish on 75 year old mahogany furniture.. thaks?

Question

Because it's humid outside my old mahogany furniture is sticky and needs a good cleaning. What's safe way to do that?

Answer 1

Look for the Formby line.  Any better hardware store carries it.

It's for all types of furniture, and doesn't cause any damage.  Many different products for many different uses.

Answer 2

TSP (Tri Sodium Phosphate) is a great cleaner for wood furniture or cabinetry.  Get out the rubber gloves and goggles and mix up a small batch and try on an obscure location.  The sticky surface will be removed, and you can reach into the details with a Q-tip and / or soft toothbrush.  

Then wipe the surface down with a citrus oil such as Orange-Glo or lemon oil (not lemon Pledge).  Make certain that you do not get the oil on any fabric.
