I would concur I would use the gentlest cleaning possible like dish detergent and water and I use Johnson's paste wax on my wood. I recently used it on my doors at home which are 50 year old birch flush doors. It not only shined them it clean off dirt that cleaners left behind. Only down side to it is the smell is awful and I would wear gloves but once it is done it is great.
I also really love Howard's semi liquid orange beeswax. It does a great job with wood that looks dried out. I think every household should have them both. |

If you put a picture of the finish on here, I can give you better advice. If it has an alligator texture anywhere on it, than it is shellac for sure. |
