Chairs and Recliners

How do I clean and touch up the wood chairs?

I just purchased wood chairs from a chinese restraunant that have polyurethane and soy sauce on them. I already used pine sol and a scrubie sponge. It took most of the grime off, but they are still sticky. Should I continue or should I stop and use something else? I just want to make sure I'm not damaging the wood before I get a chance to enjoy them.

1. First use a good wood cleaner and 00 steel wool. Once you have all the sticky residue off go to 000 steel wool to smooth the wood then to 0000 steel wool to polish. Seal with linseed oil and you'll enjoy your chairs for years.
2. Try some straight white vinegar. Be sure to rinse well...
3. try murphy's soap for wood...
