This is interesting I have a formula that I cant give out (secret) but this is along the lines of the one I have. Mine will dissolve the finish smooth out the scratches and clean all at the same time. Thanks for posting this and I added it to the VSMS forum.

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.
What type of finish do you put on the furniture when you are done giving it this treatment?

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.
This is a really good solution for cleaning furniture and it will not harm the original finish. After cleaning all you need to do is wax. We in the furniture restoration business have been using these kinds of solution for years. Glenn

It's the Vintage Sewing Machine Section. Go to the home page, which lists all of the topic lists. Scroll down near the bottom of the page and you will see a list of specialized sections. You will find it there. See you over there :-D
