Janet Pizaro on May 16, 2016Try rubbing the dresser down with coconut oil, olive oil or mayonnaise. Rub into the dresser with a soft clean cloth and proceed to clean with what ever you use for your furniture.Helpful Reply

Marjo on May 16, 2016Scott's Liquid Gold spray is great for old furniture. Takes some elbow grease and a couple of applications, but should take off the film from the doily and restore the finish.Helpful Reply
