Murphy Oil Soap OK?????? for oil rubbed wood????
Finally, a decent day to wipe down the wood with BLO and vinegar. I took before pictures but haven't put on computer, yet. I didn't take any of the process. I wish I had started earlier in the day. I think that it was only outside about a half hour after I had wiped it down. I only did the inside of the bonnet and the underside of the leaf and table. I actually put the BLO & vinegar in a tuna can and stirred it with a plastic spoon and then daubed my wadded rags in it to wipe on the wood, let sit about 10 minutes and then wiped with a dry rag. Next time - I'll use a glass jar so I can shake it. I put the rags I used into a plastic coffee can with Dawn & water, swooshed a bit and rung out and hung on the clothesline.
I was very favorably impressed, however, I'm thinking I may want to clean the top off with something else, first, before I wipe with BLO. I have Murphy's in a tub and also a spray Murphy's Oil Soap. Do you think that would be okay? I know not to drench it and then to dry it off.
Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.
