We have wood cabinets in the kitchen with kind of a semi shiny finish and they are starting to look a little shabby. i usually just wipe off the regular dirt with water. Any ideas??

Murphy's Oil Soap works well on wood.

I have found a product that I really like It is Howard Restore a finish It comes in different stain colors you match yours as best you can you wipe it on let it set wipe it off and the finish looks great. Then you take the Feed and wax again from Howard and rub that in I have had great results from this.

I was given a dining room set that had been in a barn for many years it had gotten wet and the finish was bad on them and I used this and it made it look loved not forgotten. It also took the whit rings form wet stuff set on the table off.I have done lots with this system and like every result It will remove scratches clean it up and leave a great finish when your done.

Murphy's Oil Soap is great and soap and vinegar in water is also really good!

Thanks for the ideas! Maybe I will at least start with the Murphy's oil soap and see what happens, but that is a project for next weekend!
