Interior Wood Cleaners

Interior Wood Cleaners for Furniture and Timber

Our range of interior wood cleaners is designed for cleaning and maintaining suitable wooden furniture, floors and other timber surfaces. We stock wood surface cleaners, furniture cleaners, floor cleaners, wax removers and specialist cleaning products for removing dirt, grease, old polish and other surface contamination.

Different types of wood and existing finishes require different cleaning methods, so always check that the product is suitable for the surface and finish before use.

Wood Surface Cleaner

A wood surface cleaner can help remove everyday dirt and grime from suitable wooden surfaces without unnecessarily affecting the existing finish. Our range includes Fiddes Wood Surface Cleaner and Osmo wood cleaning products for different interior applications.

For finished furniture and other timber surfaces, choose a cleaner that is compatible with the existing oil, wax, polish, varnish or other finish.

Furniture Cleaner

Furniture cleaner can be used to remove accumulated dirt, grease and surface contamination from suitable wooden furniture. For antique and period furniture, it is particularly important to establish what finish is already present before using a cleaning product.

Priory Polishes Polish Reviver is intended for cleaning and reviving suitable finished furniture while retaining the character of the existing surface. Where a surface simply requires routine cleaning rather than restoration, a dedicated wood surface cleaner may be more appropriate.

Wood Floor Cleaner

Wood floor cleaner is designed for cleaning suitable timber flooring as part of regular maintenance or preparation before refinishing. Our range includes Osmo Wash and Care, Fiddes Wood Floor Cleaner and Liberon Wood Floor Cleaner.

Some floor cleaners are designed for regular maintenance, while others are intended to remove more substantial build-up before applying a new finish. Always check the product instructions before using a cleaner on an oiled, waxed, varnished or otherwise finished floor.

Removing Old Wax and Polish

If wooden furniture or flooring has accumulated layers of old wax or polish, a suitable wax remover may be required before applying a new finish.

Liberon Wax Remover is available for removing old wax and polish from suitable surfaces. Once old finishes have been removed, the timber can be assessed and prepared for the next stage of cleaning, polishing or refinishing.

Cleaning Oiled Wood

Oiled wood requires cleaning products that are compatible with the existing finish. Regular cleaning can help remove everyday dirt without unnecessarily stripping the oil from the surface.

Osmo Wash and Care is designed for cleaning and maintaining suitable oiled and waxed wooden surfaces. For more intensive cleaning, Osmo Intensive Cleaner provides a stronger cleaning option for suitable applications.

Cleaning Wooden Furniture Before Polishing

Cleaning wooden furniture before applying a new polish or wax can help remove dirt and residue that could otherwise affect the finished appearance.

The correct approach depends on the existing finish. A gentle surface cleaner may be appropriate for routine cleaning, while furniture that has accumulated substantial layers of wax or polish may require a dedicated reviver or wax remover.

Cleaning Antique and Period Furniture

Antique furniture cleaning requires care because the existing finish can be an important part of the appearance and character of the piece. Avoid automatically stripping an old finish simply because the furniture looks dirty.

Products such as furniture revivers can be useful where the aim is to clean and refresh an existing finish rather than completely refinish the furniture. Always test a cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Choosing the Right Interior Wood Cleaner

The right wood cleaner depends on the surface, the existing finish and the type of contamination you need to remove.

For routine cleaning, consider a suitable wood surface or floor cleaner. For furniture that has accumulated old polish or wax, a furniture reviver or wax remover may be more appropriate. For oiled or waxed floors, use a maintenance cleaner recommended for that particular finish.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for preparation, application, testing and subsequent treatment before using a cleaning product on interior wood.
