Things You'll Need:
- Duster
- Soft cloth
- Quality furniture wax
- Non-ammonia based glass cleaner
-
Step 1
Pull the grandfather clock away from the wall very gently. Don't strike the unit on anything while moving it. Bring the clock out from the wall far enough to reach the entire rear of the piece.
-
Step 2
Use a duster or soft cloth to remove any loose dust and debris from the body of the clock and from the top pediment as well. Continue by dusting the glass areas of the grandfather clock. Open the front panel or door to the pendulum and carefully dust in the compartment taking care not to bump or strike the pendulum.

Step 3
Apply a high-quality furniture polish to a very soft cloth. Work the wax into the clock's surface from the top pediment downward. Slowly rub the wax into the wood in a circular pattern from top to bottom.
-
Step 4
Remove the wax with another soft cloth working from bottom to top. This process will leave the clock with a beautiful, lasting shine.
-
Step 5
Clean the glass portion of the clock with a non-ammonia based glass cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth and not onto the clock itself to prevent spotting.
