Normal wear and tear on wood furniture can cause the surface to
become dull and dingy. Time, heat and light can age the finish of
a piece of furniture even if it’s well taken care of. Before
purchasing a furniture stripper to remove the old finish
completely, try Butcher's® Wax:
It can bring new life to an aged and dull finish.
Paste wax fills tiny scratches to restore shine.
It also protects the piece from future wear.
Wax stays on the piece much longer, until it is either washed off
or worn away.
Steps:
1. Gently wash the wood surface with a mild soap and water
solution and allow to dry. Place a small amount of Butcher's®
Wax in the middle of an oil free 0000 steel wool (a clean soft
cloth will also work but it absorbs wax and does not spread as
evenly). Rub the wax-filled Wool or cloth on the surface in small
areas (figure A). Using this method controls the amount of wax
placed on the furniture.
2. Allow the wax to haze over, approximately 5-10 minutes and
then gently wipe off the excess with a soft clean cloth. If you can
streak the surface with a finger, the excess isn't removed. When
you think it's done, buff with still another clean cloth. Make sure
not to wait too long to remove the wax as it will become harder to
do so. On larger surfaces such as Wood Floors, an electric
buffer can be uses with a clean buffing pad.
3. Apply another coat. It will fill any gaps in the first layer and
add a beautiful shine to the piece.
4. To keep the shine up, don't use furniture polish over the wax.
Clean with a feather duster or damp rag. Repeat the waxing
process when it becomes dull again.
