In this video you mention using Pledge. I got an interesting tip from my expert on Anderson windows. He said to use Lemon Pledge in the tracks of my sliding windows. Besides smelling great, it lubricates the track and does not attract dust. This treatment keeps the windows sliding well and prolongs the life of the sliding mechanism.

I can't believe I'm watching a video on furniture polish and loving it I think I'm going crazy great job on the video you are my guilty pleasure😂

[DazlinDesigns]

I have never found a person to clean my house who is as thorough and knowledgeable as you! I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. ❤️

[christophermirra]

Terri here. You are amazing. Thanks for the education in your videos. While I’m old, I can be taught a new trick every now and then!

[SJ-evby]

Great video—best explanation I’ve ever heard as to why one product likely won’t work for all the wood in your house.
Appreciate it.

[raven]

Thank God I found you! God bless you!!

[johnmal]

*This might be the best video you have done* It took me years to figure out all these polishes and waxes etc.. and it is so so important I hope new home cleaners pay attention because this video will save them tons of complaints. Lol!

I have now watched ten of your vids on multiple topics, and I have never been so educated on cleaning and cleaning products. This vid taught me so much about different wood cleaning and polishing products. I wish I had this information years ago before I messed up my dining room table with beeswax.

[MsStash]

Great video. Very detailed and informative. Thank-you. I once took over a cleaning business for a neighbour of mine when she went south for the winter. I wish I had that info back then. You're a pro.

[hourdryfloors]

I’m so glad i found your channel! So much valuable information. I was totally against all swiffer products. But now i see the value they could have and you’ve convinced me to conform. Thank you for your expert advice. I wish i could take you with me to all my houses

[munkylemon]

Thanks for all this great info! I'm learning so much. I've been trying to figure out how best to clean the wainscoting in my house. Its an older, finished wood so finding the best thing to use has been tricky. I'm thinking Scotts Liquid Gold looks best

[ladybugmom]

Thanks for the wax tip. I just started a job with a dining room full of antique furniture. Super dry and ornate (ugh!) now maybe I can actually make them look a little better.

This is very generous of you to share ☀️🌻🙏🙋

I love Wood Silk polish because it's got beeswax in it. Great for wooden furniture that's waxed. In general for non-wood Scandinavian type furniture I use Pledge cleaner polish.

[paisley]

I have used liquid gold for years. It smells amazing and it doesn’t leave a heavy greasy coating.

[wallihaley]

My absolute furniture polish was by SC Johnson’s “specialty surface” cleaner but unfortunately it seems to have been discontinued. It worked great on wood, stainless steel, granite and leather! The only thing it couldn’t be used on was glass. I have no idea why the SC Johnson company discontinued it, but I do know that many people were very disappointed! On the other hand Angela Brown is absolutely correct that most of the time all you need is a very slightly damp cloth to dust your wood furniture.

[matcam]

Luv all your vids...so helpful to help me clean my home better. Could you do a video about how often to clean everything in your windows etc....thks

[tinataylor]

Thanks for sharing! I’ve always wondered what the best product & method is for cleaning wood!

[sandyhumissouri]

You. Are. Amazing. Love your calm and common sense. Thanks!

Hi Angela, so glad I found your videos! So helpful. I am trying to save my 1960s mahogany veneer kitchen cabinets. They are stained, and have a very thin coat of something on them. There are dark streak spots in some of them, ( not mildew) also steam damage, and plenty of dirt and grease especially around the knobs. My plan was to clean them first, then maybe a light sand with 320 grit paper, then use Howards restore a finish, and finally Howard's beeswax polish. I'm not sure what to clean them with? I was told krud kutter pre-paint cleaner, but I don't know if I should be dulling the surface. I have some Krud Kutter general cleaner that I could try but it doesn't specify use on raw wood. Tried a bit of dawn dishwashing soap with vinegar, and Lemon/ lemon rind tea I made mixed with warm water. Then I rinsed with baking soda water mix, and then rinsed well and dried well. Didn't find great results with that, especially the dark streaks and it seemed to be lifting the stain a bit. Seems like the grain is somewhat lifted on them already and the veneer seems quite thin. Can you suggest a product to clean them with?
