I would sand it down, and then wax it. It really looks good.

If heavy soiling is apparent then use Fine wire wool dipped in white spirits-Clean and finishes Nicely!0% 0 Votes - if it is stripped it is in the white that means you can just wax using a coloured wax or varnish or use danish oil if you mean to clean it use warm water and soap and a cloth but this will rais the grain a little better to wrinse the cloth well and quicly dry ithe furniture as soon as you have cleaned it. If you mean to strip it use nitromors yellow or green depending on the finish you have on it ie paint or varnish use a fine 000 wire wool and gloves as the chemicle in these strippers is nasty on the skin best of luck DO NOT SAND o the Amateurs that give these answers

- if you still have a little paint in the grain i recommend using medium grade wire wool and water based paint sripper. Then 'Bri wax' the wood with wire wool and polish off with cloth. Clear wax would be best as the wood should already have a rich colour.
good luck0% 0 Votes - For cleaning you could use sugar soap or a specially made branded solution. Good DIY shops have wooden surface cleaners. I am assuming that is in reasonable nick. To eliminate built up material you could apply it with very fine wire wool but do make sure and rinse the surface off after or you'll get rust spots !!0% 0 Votes
