I'd love to provide further detail about your furniture cleaning needs, but
need a bit more information. Is the dirt/dust affixed to the surfaces or
just sitting there? Do you know what types of finishes are on the pieces?
Do you apply anything as routine or cyclical maintenance procedures, such as
wax or something else? How frequently do you dust/clean the furniture and
what process do you use? Thanks.
