It depends upon what you want to clean off! Over-zealous cleaning that destroys the patina can seriously can destroy the value of an item. There are many books written on the subject of caring for antique furniture. I suggest that you invest in one of those or take the item or an expert restorer who will undertake to do the task appropriately. Over the years, I have seen hundreds of pieces that have been ruined by so called "re-finishing". This forum isn't really the place for on-line tuition in antiques restoration.
There may well be such a web-site though I do not know of it. But, a Google search might get you the information that you want.
