How to Clean Wood Veneer Kitchen Tables

Wood veneer is made by gluing thin slices of wood onto the top of core panels, to give the appearance that the item is made of real wood, when actually only the surface is. Wood veneer is used to make furniture, such as entertainment centers, dressers, bed frames, night stands and kitchen tables. The surface of wood veneer should be cared and treated for the same as wood. Wood veneer kitchen tables should be cleaned as needed. Spills should be cleaned up right away to avoid stains and warping. Does this Spark an idea?
