Hi,
My name is Paul and I have recently bought a house in the UK which has Oak paneling on the walls in the hallway.
I would like to clean them up and polish them but as a complete novice I am looking for some help and advice on how to complete such a task.
The panels have never been varnished but are extremely dirty and they look 'tired'. The previous owner was a smoker and there seems to be a lot of yellow dirt if rubbed with clean cloth.
I can put up a picture of panels if it helps.
The panels were installed in early part of the 1930's and seem to have had a dark stain added, I think but am not sure if it is stain or natural color?!?!
Thanks,
Paul
