I have been going through a lot of papers, decluttering.
I found one that I had printed out in 2005, from one of the DIY internet sites. It was about stripping pieces of antiques.

Quote==Don't you dare strip that table, no matter how grimy and gunked-up it may look. collectors prize antiques with the original finish!! Reveal the treasure hiding underneath with this Free FORMULA FOR FURNITURE JIKCE.
1 part white vinegar
1 part boiled linseed oil (Don't use raw)
1 part turpentine (from your paint or hardware store)
Combine all 3 ingredients in a jar with a tight lid and shake like crazy. Then rub it into the furniture with a piece of 0000-grade steel wool. Wipe off with soft cloth. Years of grime melt away, leaving you with a smooth, beautiful surface.
I don't remember using this, I think it was about the time my husband had another stroke so I stuck all my papers in a file drawer and forgot them till now.
