For heavens sake, DO NOT USE THIS ON FURNITURE especially if it is in a
museum collection.  Use a soft artist brush, a low power vacuum cleaner,
and fiberglass screen to vacuum dirt off the furniture.  If more cleaning
need to be done, contact a conservator.
For more info, check out _The Care of Antiques and Historical
Collections_ by A. Bruce MacLeish and _Furniture Care and Conservation_
by Robert F. McGriffin.
Hope that helps.  Sorry for the outcry above.  I would just hate to see
museum peices ruined by cleaning with Liquid Gold.
