I used to use Gojo in the blue container. Haven't done it for years
though, and I'm not sure if they changed the formulation. 

If the finish is shellac, there is always wiping it with alcohol.

Subject: [oldtools] Cleaning old oak

 Gentles,
 I need to clean (NOT refinish) a 1920s oak barrister's bookcase.
It’s been indoors all its life and is just dark and dingy.
Suggestions for cleaning?? Thank you.
