Gojo question
#15

I have a possible CON for Gojo.

Had a small `30s era radio here, it had a dark finish to all of the piece except a small area around the speaker that was of a lighter color. While cleaning the cabinet with GoJo some of the old finish or possibly (dirt and grim) was picked up by the GoJo (as it should). The dirty GoJo almost acted like a stain to the lighter finished wood area around the speaker. I am guessing the wood-finish was dry and porous and the dark-used gojo bledinto-stained that lighter colored area.

Had I known the possibility of this happening I would have taken precautions...now too late. I tried everything to remove the staining in that area but no go. It doesn't look HORRIBLE but not as nice as it did before the GoJo job. It has lost that nice contrast in that two tone finish.

So be warned and be cautious, from now on I will be.

Todd
