I swear by Kotton Klenser. It is great for removing nicotine from finishes. I have had some dark finishes come out as golden oak after cleaning! It is safe on the decal but don't use TOO much pressure. I generally use it with 0000 steel wool and a gentle circular motion. Then wipe it off with a clean cloth. Get it all out of the nooks and crannies because it sort of stinks for a few days if you don't! Then I follow it off with a good Howard's beeswax finish. John Robles

It is an Edison cylinder machine. Also what do you do about the banner, are these safe on the decals? Also which of these two is the better and less destructive..
