Get a feather duster. If there's a lot of dust on your wooden furniture, dust it off first. Or you can use a vacuum if you want. If it's a wooden desk, or cabinet that's been down in your basement for awhile you'll probably need a vacuum. Especially if it has spider webs all over it, then use a vacuum to get rid of them.

Take a dry rag. Apply about a tablespoon of lemon oil. Don't use too much oil. Wipe the entire furniture until it gives you that nice and shiny look to it. If you have any watermark stains on your wood furniture, you might need to apply some other cleaning appliances. Take some baking soda, and a little salt. Sprinkle it on the stain. Take an old toothbrush. Dip it into warm water. Try brushing out the stain. Then wipe it with some lemon oil. Using actual toothpaste can help remove stains as well. Take a little toothpaste, add it to the stain, then brush it. Use coasters always, if you have a wooden coffee table. To help prevent scratches on the wood.
