Scotts Liquid Gold Wood Cleaner and Preservative

Scotts Liquid Gold is designed for finished wood surfaces. It works well on cabinets, furniture, and paneling, but it is not intended for use on unfinished, raw, or oil-treated wood, which may absorb the product differently.

When applied correctly, it should not leave a greasy film. The key is to spray a light mist onto a clean cloth rather than directly onto the surface, then buff it in thoroughly to achieve a clean, polished finish.

While it is primarily a cleaner and preservative, the nourishing oils can help mask the appearance of minor surface scratches and scuffs by blending them into the surrounding wood grain. It will not repair deep gouges or structural damage.

The almond scent is a signature of this product and is noticeable during application. However, it dissipates relatively quickly after the product has been buffed into the wood, leaving behind a subtle, clean fragrance.

You can use it as often as needed to clean dust and grime. For preservation, applying it every few months or whenever the wood begins to look dull or dry is usually sufficient to maintain its luster.
