Care and cleaning of unfinished wood / [by Robert L. Barclay ; revised by Amanda Salmon].: NM95-57/7-1-2016E-PDF
"Cleaning bare wood surfaces is complicated by several factors. First, unfinished wood is relatively soft and can be damaged by some cleaning techniques. Wood degrades with time and use, so older wood surfaces may be even softer than new ones. Second, since bare wood readily absorbs water, wet cleaning methods are considered unsuitable, thus cleaning options are limited. ... The following techniques (listed in order from least to most aggressive) are recommended for cleaning bare wood: soft brush and vacuum cleaner; stiff brush and vacuum cleaner; smoke or chemical sponge; erasing compounds; erasers; adhesive rubber product"-- p. 3.
