- 1). Wipe loose dust off the furniture using a dry cotton cloth.
- 2). Prepare to clean the furniture with mineral spirits. Open nearby windows for ventilation, and put on chemical-resistant gloves for hand protection.
- 3). Saturate another cloth with mineral spirits. Wipe the cloth over the furniture's finish, following the grain lines. Fold the cloth once it accumulates wax buildup.
- 4). Continue wiping the furniture's finish with mineral spirits until no more yellowed wax buildup remains on the finish or transfers onto the cloth.
- 5). Hang the moistened cloth outdoors to air-dry, as it is flammable. Dispose of the cloth according to local ordinances.
