I am process of restoring an Art Deco bed. It needs cleaning and then staining in some places. If I first clean with Murphy Oil soap, can I then stain where needed and it be absorbed or would the cleaning prevent absorption. Thanks.

No to anything containing water. These pieces are veneer and water can cause them to come unglued. I have a product for antiques that works every time to clean and bring back the original finish. You can change color by adding dark wax or you can use a varnish stain but from what im seeing here once its cleaned and shining again you may fall in love with it. The product is called a Finish Rejuvenator and its made in Oklahoma but its online too. www.thevictorianhouseproducts.comHelpful Reply -
