Hi All,

We have always been told that we cannot use anything petroleum based in the
museum because it will harm the oil paintings. Is this true?  (More than the
majority of our paintings do not have glass covering them.)

We have gorgeous millwork, stairs, and floors that need to be refinished
after only three years!  The original finish (Deft) was not tough enough to
withstand people walking on them.  And, our beautiful mahogany admissions
desk has digs and scratches galore!

Can anyone recommend something we CAN use?

thanks for your help
