    Try using Murphy's Oil Soap to clean the grime. Then Old English lemon oil.

    You can clean it well, lightly sand or use a deglosser and apply two coats of clear varnish or varathane to bring back the shine.

    All you need is KrudKutter which you can find st Walmart, Lowe’s or Home Depot. Spray it on the areas and let it sit for about 30 seconds then wipe it off. This stuff will Not damage wood or any other surface. I use it to clean the same areas on my desk. KrudKutter is an amazing cleaner. It’s also great for cleaning kitchen cabinets but is safe enough to use on laundry.
