    Clean it with Go Jo non pumice then you follow up with the LG. just use cottonballs and paper towels for the Go Jo cleaning.

    Billy, will that take off any dirt/gunk layers too (liquid gold)? Or do I clean with something else first, then shine with LG? And what is best for using on the wood to brighten/clean it a little? Her cabinet is in really pretty good condition.

    She lived in FL by Pensacola for the last 10 years, there is a slight "film" I am assuming is seasalt residue just from the humid air? Any idea how to get that off of the irons? Its only on the irons, luckily :)

    Both machines are really pretty. They don't look as if they will be needing a lot of cleaning and cabinet work. Have fun sewing on them.
