<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barbara W. Preston, post: 4301743, member: 13943&quot;]For cleaning the insides of the wood pieces we receive, I follow the same procedure, but usually remove the drawers and any removables and vacuum out the all of the inside and the drawers, too. I use an old bar of Ivory soap (that&#039;s what I happen to have)on drawer runners to make them slide smoothly and vacuum up the loose particles so that they later do not fall on what we ha put in the drawers and cause a stain.&nbsp; After cleaning, I completely line the drawers with acid proof white paper before placing items in them.&nbsp; Otherwise, the wood will eventually stain the materials stored in them.&nbsp; To get rid of the smells, I dampen the cloth with water that has baking soda mixed in.&nbsp; If it still smells, I will set a small dish of baking soda in each drawer (especially if there are separations between the drawers) close the drawers and let them sit for a week or so. Usually this removes any foul oders. I have never heard of using olive oil on wood furniture, but maybe someone knows something that I don&#039;t know about using olive oil[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
