My question is...could this be how it always looked or is it grime? How do I clean it without stripping? Can I just use detergent and a soft brush...will this damage the veneer or its' finish? Thanking all in anticipation....
Ruby2shoes don't use any water on the cabinet it will cause the veneer to come loose. Go to my tut on cleaning and reviving cabinet finishes and there you will see to solutions 1 and 2 Use solution one to clean the cabinet. athen use solution 2 to revive the finish and the wax with a good paste wax I recomend briwax.
