The best and safest way to restore the shine is good old-fashioned elbow grease. The ‘old school’ method involves mineral spirits and #0000 (Super Fine) steel wool. I’ve been using Simple Green, which is very gentle and smells better.
When you’re ready to start rubbing, use the cleaning agent and the wool, gently; and I mean gently! Although the steel wool is fine, repeated rubbing or pressure will remove the stain, especially on edges. Rub in the direction of the grain, or a circular pattern with even less pressure. Use caution on a spot where veneer ‘edges’ are present. Keep working and wiping, checking your progress. When the dirt is gone, wipe it down again then polish it with some Orange Glo. I love that stuff and it smells great. Pretty durable too-
