We offer advice on How to Care for Veneer and Solid Wood Furniture in our helpful Office Furniture Guides: When it comes to cleaning your beautiful veneer & solid wood furniture, not just any furniture polish will do. Many popular furniture polishes contain wax and silicone. Avoid these polishes. Wax builds up on your furniture over time, leading to a cloudy and uneven appearance. Meanwhile, silicon leaves behind an ugly white residue that destroys furniture finishes.
Clean veneer and solid wood furniture 6-12 times a year with a mix of water and mild soaps such as Murphy Oil Soap. Dust your furniture regularly between cleanings (about once a week) with a dry dust cloth or a furniture polish that does not contain wax or silicone, such as Endust. Dust is abrasive. Left untreated it causes tiny scratches that dull the appearance of your furniture.
