Not all all-purpose cleaners can work on wooden furniture — there may be danger of distorting the surface layering and subsequently diminishing the quality of the material. The same cannot be said for steel because it can simply be cleaned using the simplest household implements that are available.

　　A damp cloth can easily wipe off any stains that are caught by the steel furniture. The best thing about this is that it’s highly unlikely that stubborn stains would even be present because of the smooth finish. Just make sure that you’re subjecting this type of furniture to a regular maintenance schedule to retain its polish and luster.
