Caring for a Natural Finish

Periodically, a natural finish will need cleaning and polishing. Lemon oil makes a good cleaner and won't build-up. A carnauba paste wax will replenish the finish, keep it from turning brittle and fill any tiny scratches. Don't use commercial furniture polishes; these could react with natural finishes and ruin them.
