What do I use to clean my freshly sanded wood?

Sanded old chest of drawers. Want to clean. Is paint thinner safe to use as cleaner on old wood??
Use denatured alcohol. Paint thinner should be safe but denatured alcohol has never failed me and fumes aren't bad, evaporate quickly.
Tack cloth
Mineral spirits.
I wouldn’t use paint thinner which is often mineral spirits because it leaves a petroleum-based light yellow residue.
Denatured alcohol will evaporate “clean”.
Use a tak cloth with some denatured alcohol. Wipe really well and it will get all the dust off. Then go over the entire piece with a microfiber cloth.
