Clocks, Watches/Old Clock Case

Question
Do you know what kind of solution should we use to clean the old antique cuckoo clock case without damaged the finish and wood?
Thanks a Mil!

Answer
Much depends upon the materials used to make and finish the case.  Some of the new finishes are much to solubles for ordinary cleaning.  Generally I use a weak mixture of Murphy's soap, working it in with a soft brush and wiping dry with a soft cloth.  Regards WJP
