Would the above cleaning suggestions with hot water work in this situation?
I think David @Piper covered it pretty well, it depends on how bad they are as to how radical you need to get, I would probably start with hot water and go from there. The water does dull a waxed finish but I’ve found that a quick rubdown with a pipe polishing cloth with bring back the glow, I haven’t noticed any effect on a varnish or lacquer finish.
