Quick Tip: Clean & Refresh Natural Wood

Jim describes a simple, effective way to clean and refresh all the natural wood in your home - cabinets, doors, paneling, furniture and more. Mix equal parts of Boiled Linseed Oil and Mineral Spirits.  Use a Double Ought Steel Wool (00 - Super Fine) to scrub it down - remembering you are cleaning the surface and not taking off the finish. Use more mineral spirits to thin the mixture as you go.  Follow by wiping the wood down with a clean cloth.  Important note: Do not store the steel wool or cloths in plastic - let them air dry.
