wax buildup

[Michael Gamble]

Hello Paul Mulik and List
I am holding a small bottle of "Antiquax Furniture Cleaner (non 
inflammable)" which says (on the bottle) "Method of Use. Damp onto clean 
soft cloth or Antique Fine Duster, rub well until grease, dirt and old WAX 
are evenly removed. Do not apply this cleaner direct to surface".(in other 
words use a cloth) "Use in a ventilated area." This I have had for many 
years. Manufactured by James Briggs & Sons Ltd. Lion Works, Old Market 
Street, Blackley, Manchester M9 3DU England.
This predates Internet.....
Regards
Michael G.(UK)
