Hi Steven,. Start with Murphy's Oil Soap, it's just for wood. Follow the directions on the bottle. You can find this in the cleaning isle of your supermarket. Just a few tips on painting. Take off the hardware, and paint the doors on a flat surface, this avoids streaks and peeling. You can roll the paint with a roller, and use a high gloss. The hardware you can spray, or buy new, but it's pricey. Aloha!
Here are step by step instructions. Good Luck! :
