cleaning knotty pine tongue and grove paneling

Tags: Miscellaneous
I have 140 yr old paneling that has sap coming out. That really doesn't bother me but I would like to know the bast cleaner to use on this paneling. I do know the owners smoked heavily and it will definitely need a good cleaning.

If anyone has any suggestions??

You may see them in the cleaning aisle or possible in the automotive aisle. Dab in a small area first to make sure it does not remove the finish on your walls as well.

A good furniture cleaner will work fine on the walls for everything but the sap.
