Cleaning Wood

[Honkey Kong]

What is the proper way to do so?
Can I just soak them as I do with Metals?
Do I need Pledge or Murphy's Oil?

DO NOT SUBMERGE THESE OR FLUSH WITH WATER!

You can use a damp cloth for light cleaning...but if you have a lot of mess, then perhaps some alcohol and a swab or rag depending on the area you need to clean.

After you're done cleaning, you can use Howard's wax to protect and shine them.

Thanks much, Lisa! I kinda had the feeling they should not go in Water, just had no clue what to do.

Rich the Howard's Feed and Wax really is the best. It will also clean them. Be sure to do the inside. I use a Q-tip swab and get all around inside. The wax will really soak in on the dry inside areas. It is best to leave the wax on for a few hours or overnight. Then just buff. No need to apply any other wax. If you go to the Howard's site they explain just what it does! Feed-N-Wax Wood Polish & Conditioner | Howard Products

I buy and use their SunShield Wax. It has UV protection for woods that will fade and change color in sunlight. You can purchase at Amazon.com for a great price. Check the website for locations near you that have it too.

Don't use alcohol on the outside of the mod

You are the best, Karen! I was going to Google it later or tomorrow than found this here.

Yeah, didn't do that. I kinda got one that was supposed to come by your place for a cracked bottom, right around the on/off switch. I purchased it knowingly though, it was not a surprise when we opened the box. Also, the first set we got was listed as having a chip out of the button area. Will try and get with you about them tomorrow, bedtime here now.
