Thanks for the cleaning tip! And Don let's hear your Hair Raising Story.
ORIGINAL: Insulators Rule!
Another thing that you can put on the piece is acrylic floor finish. It is used for lanolium( spelling?) floors, as a sort of wax type thing. I use a product called "Future". I have used it on a few different pieces, and it works very well. It has lasted a long time on some pieces so far, as in about 2 years, and still is nice and shiny. If you want more info on it, shoot me an email.
