A few years ago, I found an early Stickley child’s chair on EBAY. It looked awful and had clearly been ignored for many years. No bids. It was a bargain, and I knew that our dressing would bring out the finish that was very much still there. We bought it, not as an investment, but to show what a difference the dressing would make.

In the 60 years I’ve been involved with furniture, I’ve never found anything that cleans furniture as well as The Craftsman Furniture Dressing. Not just because I make it.

We’ve sold thousands of cans to people just like you—people whose furniture didn’t “show well.” Maybe your furniture and your cabinets looked dingy. Grocery store products made it worse. Greasy. Dull. Should you replace the furniture? No! It just needs to be cleaned properly. We’ve made this dressing for people like you and me. Damn straight.

On our dressing label, we agree to refund purchase price if you are not satisfied. In 50 years, we have had just two people who were not satisfied. One was a young man who thought it was a finish coating. The other was a woman who didn’t understand that the final wipe cloth really does need to be 100% cotton.

You should clean your furniture three times a year. Spring, summer and late fall. One pint will last most households a year or more.

People say “But Ron, we don’t have fine furniture. Can it be used on MY furniture?

My answer: My wife and I bought furniture at house sales and auctions—cleaning them 3 times a year and they still look fantastic after 48 years.

Kitchens are extraordinarily expensive. We know, because we build them. Try our dressing on a corner of a cabinet—and see the difference. Not to be used on latex paint.

Besides you … the homeowners … we have sold to auctioneers, curators, collectors and antique dealers. They realize they get more money when the furniture is cleaned and shows well.

But our proudest achievement is with the repeat customers (sometimes multi-generational) who know that The Craftsman Furniture Dressing is the only product they need for their furniture. They are adamant that nothing else will do.

This works beautifully on any sealed wood surface. Any furniture, regardless of the era and the style: Modern, traditional, colonial, mid-century modern, Scandinavian, antiques, IKEA, yard sale treasures, hand-me-downs. It will work and make your furniture look better and last longer.

We are no different than the people reading this. 3 kids, 5 grandchildren, two cats, two dogs and I’m always doing something stupid in the gardens that are way too big for an 80-year-old man.

You can order our dressing and enjoy looking at your furnishings after they’ve been cleaned ~Ron
