Furniture Lacquers

Lacquered furniture is always in fashion because they integrate well into any style of decor.

Over time, if you want to do a thorough cleaning of the unit in question, it is best to use a cloth soaked in hot milk (just before a boil).
It is no longer acting as a time and dry the surface, take another dry cloth to shine.

Try it and then tell me which were your results if you have another recipe, so comment it and share it.
