How do you currently care for the wood surfaces in your home?

Mr Patric, All Wood as you know that come from different places , and have different surface, the harder the finish the easier it is to clean , If it has a resin Finish its very hard, and can be wiped down with a damp terry towel , oak with just a stain and light repellent , If you want High Gloss finish, use wood polish, you can use Fancy wood oil’s but it will make it look good and smell good , but will not enhance the life of the piece, water as you know is the main enemy, if the wood piece sitting on a carpet surface that has moister under it, It will draw water up into the wood and destroy it, most wood floors have been installed sanded, stained normally to some degree and the Hardend Diamond Gloss finish , or semi Gloss or natural, that finish is susceptible to water but not from the top from the underside and cracks and edges, long term water& food can lead to damage further down the road, I could say on a nice piece of Oak, pine red oke, Birch teak (well not teak it grows in water and needs oiled with teak oil if you want you boat to look sharp,) it is a long term weathers well but will bleach out in the Sun and water but usually not damage it, wood is like raw cast iron no primer and paint it will rust in front of you, treated well finished wood , with say a new piece oak table if left UN will build up a residue that will need cleaned , but the cleaner can not be to harsh cause it will cut into the finish, just like a car use the wrong compoung and you will cut away the clear coat and the paint is thin and soon will see the primer then the metal, so back to where we were, everone is on the band waggon on green prducts , good markintg but, hey orange cleaner’s will if repetedly used on the same spot, will remove shlack, varnsh, laquar, and to the bare wood, if its a good wood well finished a clean damp terry towel and a light cleaner like simple green, then pledge or something in that spectrum, most household items are un nessary and well promoted advetiesmt,
good treated wood 100 to 200 years ago is still good today, the whole secret is to keep it clean and dry and it will last someones lifetime,aqlso most people that Ive seen only clean what they can see the top, not me the peice get an overhaul top to bottom, and light repelent lik endust pledg ect, some of my wood needs to have wood soap and then oiled. And most woods keeped dry out of the sun, un less otherwise instructed, with Faux wood products, vinals ect, note wood in the walls don’t need treated if the outside is seald with stucco , ship lap ect, and drywall on the inside the wood does not go bad if sealed properly it can go un finished, like most homes, only when on the exposed wood surface to must be treated , paint , clear coat, hardner, of some typ ect. have a good day
