Up until now I've either stripped or buffed out the existing finish. This time I would like to just clean it as the finish is very delicate.What should I use? The one everyone uses on here, I believe, contains pumice.Is it OK to use or it is available without it?
Thanks.

Use GOJO without pumice and a lot of elbow grease.

Since I am a newbe here I hope I will not be drumed out of town for asking this question. Where do I go to buy some GOJO?

[Eric Adams]

No problem. You should be able to get GOJO (by the way it is a waterless hand cleaner)at any auto parts store. You can also try Walmart. It comes in a small tub. If you see something called GOOP, get it. It is the same thing.
Here's a website that shows how well it works: He calls it "The Treatment"

Thank you Eric, I will hot foot it down to my local parts store and get some.

Just to reinforce what others have said, for anyone new to the GOJO or GOOP method, you want to buy the kind of that has no pumice. Typically that will be a white rather than orange container. I found some GOOP at Harbor Freight that came in a large tube that makes it very convenient to use:

This is the explanation of "The Treatment"

After a good cleaning with GOJO, allow the finish time to get completely dry,
wipe it with a paper towel to make sure nothing comes off,
when it's completely dry I use Old English scratch cover. They have it
for Dark Wood and for Light colored wood, choose which ever matches
your cabinet.
I usually apply it at least twice. Wiping with a paper towel afterwards
to assure it to is dry. I again usually wait at least until the next day to
allow full drying time.
When it's completely dry, no color comes off when you wipe it with a paper
towel, I apply Johnson's Paste Wax, in the flat yellow can.

How is it applied by you all?

I use #0000 steel wool and dont use too much elbow grease. someone else did and the sanded through the finish.... Using #0000 steel wool
Thats a lot of elbow grease.

I like to start off with something like a large cotton gauze pad or cloth. For stubborn areas you can switch to 0000 steel wool if needed, but be gentle and wipe with the grain.

Paper towels and GoJo works for me. I slather it on by hand, rubbing gently. Eventually, the GoJo "melts" and begins to run/drip. Use clean dry paper towels and wipe gently. Keep wiping until the paper towels come away clean. Let it dry for a day or two so the "wet look" goes away to see how well you've done. Sometimes, I need to repeat this process, but it works amazingly well.
