Default white/cream/green featherweight

I have just purchased a white/green featherweight. What is the best thing to clean it with without damaging the finish? It hasn't arrived yet from eBay but I want to clean and oil it as soon as it comes in.

Sewing machine oil to clean and oil it. You shouldn't need anything more.

I have to say I am jealous. But I am happy for you too. I also recommend using machine oil to clean and oil it with. Good luck. I some day wish to own a featherweight to.

I am "green" with envy. I would so like to find one that color that I could afford. I call the color "celery". Whatever it is called, they are delicious.

I just got done with a class on maintenance of my featherweight. The instructor told us to use only "lily white oil" on the machine. Their should be an green book that comes with your machine and in it will tell you where to oil . This lady had over 20 featherweights at one time. happy sewing
