How to Clean a Mahogany Dining Room

Wood furniture needs special care. You cannot clean wood with normal house cleaning products that contain alcohol or bleach, because you may risk damaging it. If you are preparing to entertain guests in your dining room, clean your mahogany dining table and polish it to make it look like new and shine.
